Jean-Pierre Jeunet is celebrating his 72nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie, Alien Resurrection, Delicatessen, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 72nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Jeunet, a cultural icon
