Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on September 21, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Mika Kaurismäki! May your day be filled with more plot twists than "The Liar," fewer family dramas than "The Clan - Tale of the Frogs," and adventures as spontaneous as navigating through Hollywood in "L.A. Without a Map." Your films have taught us that life is best enjoyed when it's unpredictable—just like your storytelling.

Here's to another year of cinematic brilliance and quirky humor. Keep directing life's scenes with style, wit, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. After all these years behind the camera capturing unforgettable moments, today you're officially allowed one blooper reel moment yourself!
