Happy Birthday, Gabriele Salvatores! May your day be as delightfully surreal and charmingly unpredictable as the adventures of those lovable Italian soldiers stranded on a Greek island in "Mediterraneo." Your Oscar-winning masterpiece taught us that sometimes getting lost is exactly how you find yourself—preferably with good friends, sunshine, and plenty of laughter.Here's to celebrating another year filled with cinematic brilliance. Whether you're capturing life's absurdities or exploring humanity's quirks through film, you've given audiences timeless moments worth treasuring. So raise a glass (ouzo optional) to more unforgettable journeys ahead—and may all islands you land upon have better accommodations than Mediterraneo’s crew enjoyed!
