Happy Birthday, Michael Winterbottom! Celebrating another spin around the sun for the filmmaker who effortlessly hops across genres—just as Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon hop restaurants in "The Trip." Your fearless storytelling—from the hilarious self-awareness of "24 Hour Party People" to cleverly adapting Thomas Hardy's drama into "Trishna"—proves your talent knows no bounds.May your birthday be filled with laughter like "The Trip," memorable moments as groundbreaking as "Welcome to Sarajevo," and adventures as surprising yet delightful as your unpredictable filmography. Keep inspiring us all by blurring boundaries and giving us movies we never saw coming. Cheers, Michael!
