Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on March 13, 1943)

Happy birthday, André Téchiné! May your celebration be as captivating and nuanced as "My Favorite Season," yet filled with fewer family dramas. Your films have always been a breath of fresh air—like the gentle rustle in "Wild Reeds"—reminding us that life's complexities can indeed make for great cinema (and even better conversations afterward).

Here's hoping this year brings you more accolades than ever before; after all, you've mastered post-New Wave storytelling so effortlessly we're convinced you're secretly directing our lives too. Keep inspiring generations to come—and remember: age is just another plot twist waiting to unfold!
