Happy Birthday, Istvan Szabo! May your day be brighter than the spotlight on Klaus Maria Brandauer in "Mephisto," and more delightful than Annette Bening's charm in "Being Julia." Your films have aged like fine wine—Oscar-winning vintage from 1981 still tastes sweet today!From capturing history beautifully with “Sunshine” to bringing theatrical wit alive onscreen, you've directed masterpieces that continue to inspire. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much applause and laughter as your timeless cinematic gems.
Cheers to another year of storytelling brilliance—and may life always give you better reviews than even Hollywood could dream up!
