In Spike Lee’s ambitious contemporary redo of one of Akira Kurosawa’s greatest films, High and Low (screening by comparison at Maine Film Center August 16 and 17), Oscar-winner Denzel Washington and Oscar-nominee Jeffrey Wright star as a detective and his best friend in a kidnapping story that resonates far beyond its fascinating plot and immersive New York City setting. When a titan music mogul (Washington), widely known as having the “best ears in the business,” is targeted with a ransom plot, he is jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma.“[Highest 2 Lowest] rockets into a sublime new stratosphere, delivering an electrifying last act that’s at once original and deeply personal. In the end, Lee has taken High and Low to new highs, delivering a soul-searching genre movie that entertains while also sounding the alarm about where the culture could be headed.”—Peter Debruge, Variety.
