Legendary Director Reflects on Five-Film Legacy and Artistic Influences at Red Sea Film Festival

During a recent Red Sea Film Festival interview, legendary filmmaker Spike Lee spoke about his long-standing cooperation with actor Denzel Washington. Their collaboration, which includes five critically praised films, demonstrates a strong personal and professional affinity.

Lee, the jury president for the festival’s Yusr Awards, discussed his future project, “Highest 2 Lowest.” This film is a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 criminal thriller “High and Low” It is Lee’s eighth collaboration with Washington. The director was surprised to learn that their previous cooperative effort was 18 years ago, demonstrating the strength of their bond.

“We’re brothers,” Lee said, highlighting his close relationship with Washington. He lauded Washington’s extraordinary talent, calling him “arguably the best actor on the planet” and describing his portrayal of Malcolm X as “the best performance in a biopic ever.”

The conversation heated up when Lee mentioned Washington’s recent Golden Globe nomination for “Gladiator 2.” This recognition highlights the two artists’ mutual appreciation. Lee’s collaborative mentality extends beyond Washington, as he cast Washington’s son, John David Washington, in his 2018 film “BlacKkKlansman.”

In addition to addressing his work with Washington, Lee spoke about his artistic influences, particularly his adoration for Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. He acknowledged that Kurosawa’s 1950 film “Rashomon” inspired the narrative framework of his breakthrough film “She’s Gotta Have It.” This emphasizes the global influences that have shaped Lee’s distinct filmmaking approach.

Lee, 67, shows no signs of slowing down. Inspired by Kurosawa, who continued to direct into his 80s, Lee expressed gratitude for the opportunity to earn a living doing what he enjoys.

The Red Sea Film Festival, now in its fourth year, has drawn a wide group of Hollywood stars, including Michael Mann, Michael Douglas, and Michelle Yeoh. For Lee, this festival is really meaningful. It’s his third visit to Saudi Arabia, and it brings back memories of filming scenes for Malcolm X in Mecca.
