Lawrence Michael Levine is an American actor, writer, and filmmaker, best known for writing and directing the films ''Gabi on the Roof in July'' and ''Wild Canaries''. ==Career== In 2005, Levine wrote, produced, and directed his debut film ''Territory'', based on his stage play of the same name. Critic Aaron West of ''eFilmCritic'' wrote of the film, "The off-Broadway version is undoubtedly the more appropriate medium for this story, and if given a choice, I would rather see it there. Still, I cannot help but applaud Levine for trying something a little different. His characters are extraordinarily ordinary, and his tightly wound screenplay reveals their (and our) brightest and darkest sides at various times." In 2009, he wrote and directed the short films ''The Empress'' and ''Fat Friend''. His next film, 2010's romantic drama/comedy ''Gabi on the Roof in July'', received a positive critical response〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Rotten Tomatoes )〕 and was praised by Eric Kohn of ''Indiewire'', who called the film a "lightly amusing comedy". The film is also noteworthy for featuring an early appearance of actress and filmmaker Lena Dunham. In 2014, Levine wrote, directed, and starred in the mystery/comedy ''Wild Canaries''. The film received a positive response from critics and was praised by ''The Village Voice'' as being "...the closest a contemporary film has come to replicating the unbridled jubilance of a classic screwball comedy". Levine is married to fellow filmmaker Sophia Takal, with whom he has collaborated on several films.〔 In 2013, Jordan Zakarin of ''The Hollywood Reporter'' named Levine and Takal two of New York's next big independent filmmakers.〔 In addition to his own films, Levine has also acted in such pictures as ''Richard's Wedding'', Takal's ''Green'', ''All the Light in the Sky'', and ''V/H/S/2''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lawrence Michael Levine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
