Claude Zidi is celebrating his 90th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter Claude Zidi (Asterix & Obelix Take On Caesar, My New Partner, The Under-Gifted, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 90th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Zidi, a cultural icon

Born in Paris on July 25, 1934, Claude Zidi's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Zidi'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 Claude hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Claude Zidi as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 90.

Happy Birthday, Claude, you're the best!
