Gilles Marchand is celebrating his 62nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.
Popular director-screenwriter Gilles Marchand (The Other World, Who Killed Bambi?, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 62nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Marchand, a cultural icon
Born in Paris on June 18, 1963, Gilles Marchand's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Marchand'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 Gilles hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Gilles Marchand as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 62.
