You might want to reconsider this as not a problem with the film as it is
a problem to the viewer.
The climax of the film is Dersu's death/murder. The fact that this
happens off stage/camera might be an annoyance but it is the tragic
climax to the story the anti-climax being the guilt and remorse of the
Russian surveyor for giving Dersu the rifle and all the symbolism that
this entails.

One opinion (aka mine) is Scorsese really has no business (read: talent)
in story telling once he leaves his 'hood. Once he leaves his wise-guy
bebop corner he is adrift and in an alien world. Massive spatter kills
and buying expensive song rights will not change this.
