Happy 52nd birthday to Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, known for directing such films as Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge, and The Great Gatsby. A softy for a love story, Luhrmann seems to have a fetish for the doomed couple in his movies, frequently casting the likes of heartbreakers Leonardo Di Caprio and Nicole Kidman. Enjoy the best of his work along with a motivational music video he made called “Everybody’s Free To Wear Sunscreen.”
