Ariel Zeitoun is celebrating his 75th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Ariel Zeitoun (Masked Mobsters, Bimboland, Navel of the World, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 75th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Zeitoun, a cultural icon

Born in Tunis on September 26, 1949, Ariel Zeitoun's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Zeitoun's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ariel hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ariel Zeitoun as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 75.

Happy Birthday, Ariel, you're the best!
