Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on April 06, 1948)

Happy birthday, Philippe Garrel! May your day be as beautifully shot and thoughtfully paced as "Les Amants Réguliers," the masterpiece that earned you a Silver Lion at Venice. Your films remind us all to slow down, savor life's quiet moments, and perhaps brood artistically in black-and-white.

Here's wishing you another year filled with cinematic brilliance—may critics continue praising your poetic vision while audiences debate passionately over espresso about existentialism and love. Keep inspiring filmmakers everywhere; after all, nobody captures youthful rebellion quite like you do (even if some of us still can't pronounce 'Garrel' correctly). Joyeux anniversaire!
