The film is an English-language reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 crime thriller High and Low. While its unknown how similar the plot will be, Kurosawa’s movie follows an executive at a Yokohama shoe company who becomes a victim of extortion when his chauffeur’s son is kidnapped by mistake and held for ransom. A24 will release the film theatrically before its global launch on Apple TV+. deadline.com/2024/02/denzel-washington-spike-lee-high-and-low-1235819285/

High and Low is one of a few films in Kurosawa's canon that has eluded me. I just don't get it, and if I'm being sincere, it always feels like half of a chore to watch it. All this fuss over shoes? Mifune is great in it, though. It's an odd but inspired choice for Spike; I approve.
