Abdellatif Kechiche is celebrating his 65th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-actor Abdellatif Kechiche (Blue Is the Warmest Colour, Black Venus, The Secret of the Grain, Games of Love and Chance, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 65th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Kechiche, a cultural icon
