Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on August 19, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Nanni Moretti! May your day be filled with more delightful introspection than a scooter ride through Rome in "Dear Diary," and may you celebrate with fewer existential crises than the characters in "The Son's Room." Your films have taught us that life's absurdities are best faced head-on—with humor, honesty, and perhaps an occasional gelato.

Congratulations on crafting timeless cinema that continues to resonate deeply. From winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes for "The Son's Room" to charming audiences worldwide with your witty observations, you've proven repeatedly that laughter truly is life's greatest therapy. Buon compleanno, maestro!
