Which Spike Lee are we getting with HIGHEST 2 LOWEST? The dazzling stylist and provocateur of DO THE RIGHT THING or the gun-for-hire genre filmmaker of OLDBOY? The Brothers dig into this question with a roundtable discussion of Spike Lee’s latest picture. They examine the performances, the music, the structure, and the commentary, before they turn to the picture Spike Lee remade: Akira Kurosawa’s HIGH AND LOW. They praise the Japanese noir classic as they examine its narrative structure, style, and impact, and examine the ways the films differ. Finally, the Brothers pay tribute to the late actor and director, Robert Redford, discussing his iconic contributions to cinema.
