Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on June 26, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Samuel Benchetrit! Another year older and still directing life with style—clearly your talent ages better than fine French wine. From crafting captivating films like "Dog" to charming audiences through novels and plays, you've proven that creativity has no expiration date.

Your recent successes continue to inspire laughter, reflection—and perhaps a bit of envy among fellow directors wondering how you do it all so effortlessly. May this birthday bring as much joy as the quirky characters in your stories; after all, life's script is always brighter when you're behind the camera (or pen). Cheers à toi!
