Director Spike Lee celebrated — after a 10-minute standing ovation in Cannes for his latest film, “BlacKkKlansman” — at a beachfront after-party with friends including Naomi Campbell.
Lee’s the toast of the festival again, marking his first time back since 1991’s “Jungle Fever.” “Spike’s crew was at a back table with crowds of people standing around just trying to get a glimpse of him” and the cast, including John David Washington and Adam Driver.
“Naomi was holding court while Chris Tucker was dancing up a storm the whole night,” said a guest. Lee “got into the spirit around 1 a.m., when he stood on a banquette dancing and shaking a tambourine. Adam Driver got up there too, and a parade of bottles were brought out.”
Also at the screening were Donald Glover, Cate Blanchett, Ava DuVernay, Christopher Nolan and Topher Grace.
