Spike Lee's new film, 'Highest 2 Lowest,' starring Denzel Washington as a passionate Knicks fan, showcases the filmmaker's deep ties to New York culture at the Cannes Film Festival. The premiere featured various references to classic films and culminated in a memorable moment when Washington was unexpectedly awarded a Palme d'Or. Lee's antics, including his vibrant fashion choices in Knicks colors, and his playful derision of rival teams, reflect his unique charm. The film is set for theatrical release through A24 and will stream on Apple TV+ shortly after.
"It's a film by a New Yorker who loves New York. But if you're not that, it doesn't detract from you enjoying it."
"We're not counting on Boston for box office! We might as well just write that off."
"Washington was surprised with a Palme d'Or. That wasn't acting; he didn't know. Only three or four people knew."
"Everywhere Lee has gone at the French Riviera festival, he's gone in blue and orange, including a pinstripe suit on the red carpet."
