Highest 2 Lowest Review
Spike Lee Remixes Akira Kurosawa In Charged, Messy ‘Highest 2 Lowest’. Denzel Washington and Spike Lee reunite for the first time in 20 years with ‘Highest 2 Lowest,’ a loose, jazzy update of a Japanese cinema classic. Remaking what is regarded as one of Akira Kurosawa’s best, bleakest, and most cynical films is a big swing, and Spike Lee boldly puts his own imprint on Kurosawa’s 1963 gem ‘High and Low.
’ He updates it to the modern era and New York City, makes some changes to the story while keeping the central premise and dilemma more or less intact, and includes his usual grab-bag of distinctive trademarks – both for better and worse.
