The Cannes Film Festival is currently in full swing, and yesterday the premiere took place Highest 2 Lowest (2025). The engaging drama marks the fifth collaboration between the striking filmmaker Spike Lee and star actor Denzel Washington, who could still be seen this fall in Gladiator II (2024). Washington experienced an exciting day, because he was pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised within a few time.
Under pressure
Highest 2 Lowest Is about a well -known person in the music world that is hit by a extortion plot. Does the man keep his head cool when he comes under pressure from all sides?
Erepalm
The new film by Spike Lee (Blackkklansman (2018)) already appears on Apple TV+in September, but first there was this glorious world premiere, where Washington was surprised before the start with a great tribute. Spike Lee himself handed the interpreter of Malcolm X a so-called ‘honorary palm’, a Cannes statue for actors or makers who have meant a lot to Cinema with their oeuvre.
Small inconvenience
The moment was a pleasant side effect for the always busy Washington, who just before that had had an Akkefietje with a interfering photographer. The man pulled Washington to his shoulder hoping to be able to shoot his desired snapshot, but the actor did not like that. He urged the photographer to stop, but when Washington had turned around, the man pulled him on his shoulder again. This time the protagonist announced a bit brighter that he did not appreciate this handstastic behavior.
Rap towards home
After the screening of Highest 2 Lowest Followed a six -minute standing ovation, but Washington himself no longer received it. The actor plays in Othello On Broadway and had to go to the US again before the end.
Of Highest 2 Lowest before the release on Apple TV+ (on 5 september) Getting a Dutch cinema release is also not yet clear.
