A happy 50th birthday to the great and gorgeous Guillaume Canet today! This movie above is probably the first thing I ever saw him in (it's also where he first met his partner of the last sixteen years, a certain Miss Marion Cotillard) and I remember digging the movie but I haven't seen it since. Looking through his filmography I've seen surprisingly few of his movies, actually? It seems like he makes a lot that never makes it across the pond. Oh well that hasn't kept me from documenting him plenty over the years -- check our archives right here.

If you're super familiar with Canet's filmography please tell me what I should see that I might not have previously -- I have seen the big stuff like Tell No One and Joyeux Noel. The last thing I saw him in I think was Oliver Assayas' film Non-Fiction (which I loved way more than most people seemed to), and before that I thought he gave a stellar turn as a serial killer in Next Time I'll Aim for the Heart. He's a dream (even if his relationship with Cotillard makes me think he's probably a nutter like her).
