Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on September 18, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Mabrouk El Mechri! From crafting the unforgettable charm of "Virgil" to your captivating storytelling and sharp wit, you've proven that French cinema can be both stylish and delightfully entertaining. Your films have a way of making us laugh, think, and occasionally question our own sanity—often all at once!

Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity, laughter, and perhaps fewer retakes (though we secretly love those bloopers). May your next project be as brilliant as ever—because let's face it: you're not just aging gracefully; you're directing life like a true auteur. Cheers to you!
