Spike Lee and Denzel are back: ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ premieres at Cannes to six-minute standing ovation
Spike Lee and Denzel Washington reunited after 18 years for "Highest 2 Lowest," an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's "High and Low," premiering at Cannes. Their collaboration, spanning five films, felt seamless despite the time gap. Washington, who received an honorary Palme d'Or, missed the press conference due to Broadway commitments. The film also stars Ilfenesh Hadera, Jeffrey Wright, and A$AP Rocky. Lee expressed uncertainty about future collaborations with Washington, hinting at the latter's potential retirement.
