Steven Andrew Soderbergh (; born January 14, 1963) is an American film producer, director, screenwriter, cinematographer and editor. His indie drama ''Sex, Lies, and Videotape'' (1989) won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and became a worldwide commercial success, making the then-26-year-old Soderbergh the youngest director to win the festival's top award. Film critic Roger Ebert dubbed Soderbergh the "poster boy of the Sundance generation." He is best known for directing critically acclaimed commercial Hollywood films like the crime comedy ''Out of Sight'' (1998), the biographical film ''Erin Brockovich'' (2000), the crime drama film ''Traffic'' (2000), the 2001 remake of the comedy heist film ''Ocean's 11'', the medical thriller ''Contagion'' (2011) and the comedy-drama ''Magic Mike'' (2012). He has also directed smaller, less conventional works, such as the mystery thriller ''Kafka'' (1991); the experimental comedy film ''Schizopolis'' (1996), which has a non-linear narrative; ''Bubble'' (2005), which uses no script and non-professional actors; the experimental drama film ''The Girlfriend Experience'' (2009), which starred the then-active pornographic actress Sasha Grey; and the biopic about Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara, ''Che'' (2008). ==Early life and education== Soderbergh was born on January 14, 1963 in Atlanta, Georgia, to Mary Ann (née Bernard) and Peter Andrew Soderbergh, who was a university administrator and educator.〔(Steven Soderbergh profile at Filmreference.com ); retrieved January 22, 2012.〕 His father's ancestry was Swedish and Irish; his paternal grandfather was an immigrant from Stockholm.〔Sherrill, Martha (August 27, 1989). ("What next after 'sex, lies ...'?" ), ''Tampa Bay Times''. pg 1F; retrieved 2012-01-22.〕 His mother was of Italian, and "a little Irish", descent.〔http://www.vulture.com/2013/01/steven-soderbergh-in-conversation.html〕 As a child, he moved with his family to Charlottesville, Virginia, where he lived during his adolescence, then to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where his father became Dean of Education at Louisiana State University. In Baton Rouge, he discovered filmmaking as a teenager, directing short Super 8 mm films with equipment borrowed from LSU students. He has a brother, Charley. While the family resided in Baton Rouge, Soderbergh's mother appeared regularly on ''2une In'', the early-morning show of local ABC affiliate WBRZ-TV (broadcast channel 2), as a "call-in" psychic, and taught adult-education and "alternative education" classes in "parapsychology" at LSU. His primary high school education was at Louisiana State University Laboratory School, a K–12 school that is directed by the University. While still taking classes there around the age of fifteen, Soderbergh enrolled in the university's film animation class and began making short 16 mm films with secondhand equipment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography of Steven Soderbergh at )〕 Rather than attend LSU, Soderbergh tried his luck in Hollywood after graduating from high school; he worked as a game show scorer and cue card holder to make ends meet, and eventually found work as a freelance film editor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Steven Soderbergh biography at )〕 His big break came when he directed the Grammy-nominated concert video ''9012Live'' for the rock band Yes in 1985. 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「Steven Soderbergh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
