Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on April 11, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Uli Edel! May your special day be filled with more intrigue than Rasputin's beard and fewer complications than Madonna brought to Willem Dafoe in "Body of Evidence." Your films have always kept us on the edge—whether exploring boxing legends like Tyson or diving deep into history’s complexities as you did brilliantly in "Der Baader Meinhof Komplex."

Here's wishing that this year brings even greater cinematic adventures. Keep directing masterpieces so compelling they make audiences forget their popcorn entirely—or at least spill it dramatically during intense scenes. Cheers to another fantastic chapter behind (and beyond) the camera!
