Nanni Moretti 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-producer-actor Nanni Moretti (The Son's Room, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 72nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Moretti, a cultural icon

Born Giovanni Moretti in Bruneck on August 19, 1953, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Italian history. Moretti'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 Nanni hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Nanni Moretti as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 72.

Happy Birthday, Nanni, you're the best!
