Happy Birthday, Costa Gavras! You've directed thrillers so gripping that even popcorn forgets to pop. Winning an Oscar in 1983 for "Missing," your first English-language film, was like scoring a cinematic goal on foreign turf—impressive and unforgettable!Your films have always tackled serious issues with style and wit; rumor has it even subtitles applaud when you direct. May your birthday be filled with as much suspenseful excitement as one of your legendary plots—but hopefully fewer political conspiracies! Here's to another year of storytelling brilliance that's timelessly captivating (and occasionally nerve-wracking). Cheers to the maestro behind cinema's most thrilling moments!
