Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on October 04, 1971)

Happy birthday, Pablo Trapero—the fearless maestro of Argentine cinema! Whether capturing the gritty charm of "Mundo Grúa" or pushing boundaries with the intense drama in "Carancho," you've taught us that's it's perfectly okay to stare at life's uncomfortable truths head-on (while munching popcorn nervously).

Your films boldly navigate topics others tiptoe around, and somehow you manage to entertain while unsettling. As we celebrate another year of your cinematic brilliance, here's hoping your next project tackles yet another taboo—with a dash more audacity and just enough humor to keep audiences squirmingly enthralled. Keep shaking things up—Salud!
