Synopsis
Lawrence Michael Levine directs Gabi on the Roof in July and at the same time plays one of the lead roles, Sam, a young artist struggling to carry on with his life in New York. After his parents’ divorce he welcomes in his apartment her twenty year-old and long-time unmanageable sister Gabi (Sophia Takal, also producer of the film), who is supposedly visiting through the summer. During that time they will begin a phase of encounters and distances in their romances that will work as counterpoints to the problems in their relationship as brothers. With a free and clear style, Levine’s film manages to combine some of the best elements of American independent cinema –flashes of comedy in a low-fi key, a certain Cassavetes-like intention in its light setting, and natural acting performances– into a story that takes the legacy of past decades and transforms it into something refreshingly new.
