Lee Shades Trump at Cannes Film Festival | JQJO

Spike Lee, at the Cannes Film Festival, subtly criticized Donald Trump's presidency while promoting his new film, "Highest 2 Lowest." Lee expressed concern about Trump's proposed tariffs on foreign films, noting their negative impact on the industry. Despite this, he steered clear of directly condemning social media, echoing his wife's caution. The film, starring Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky (who were absent from the press conference), premiered to a standing ovation and an honorary Palme d'Or for Washington. "Highest 2 Lowest" will have a theatrical release on August 22nd and stream on Apple TV+ on September 5th.
