Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on October 08, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Jean-Jacques Beineix! May your day be as vibrant and delightfully eccentric as the neon-lit streets of "Diva," and may you celebrate with more passion than Betty Blue herself—though perhaps a little less drama. Your films have taught us that life is best lived boldly, artistically, and occasionally accompanied by an opera aria or two.

From winning four César Awards for "Diva" to captivating audiences worldwide with the unforgettable intensity of "Betty Blue," you've proven that cinema can be both artful and irresistibly entertaining. Here's wishing you another year filled with cinematic brilliance—and fewer motel transfers!
