Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on March 31, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Roy Andersson! May your special day be filled with more joy than the existential absurdity of "Songs From the Second Floor." Your unique cinematic style has given us unforgettable scenes—characters stuck in traffic jams of life, businessmen dragging their briefcases through surreal chaos, and poetic melancholy wrapped in deadpan humor. Who knew existential dread could be so delightfully funny?

Congratulations on your timeless success, especially winning the Jury Prize at Cannes back in 2000. Your films remind us that life's absurdities deserve laughter as much as contemplation. Here's to another year of brilliant filmmaking and wonderfully bizarre storytelling!
