Happy Birthday, Fabián Bielinsky! Born today in 1959, this Argentine second Unit Director or assistant director, screenwriter and film director was born in Buenos Aires.
Bielinsky started to make films early in life, while still a high school student in the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires.
Bielinsky is best known for writing and directing the 2000 Argentine drama/crime film 'Nueve Reinas' ('Nine Queens').
The film tells the story of two small-time swindlers, Juan (Gastón Pauls) and Marcos (Ricardo Darín). Both team up after meeting in a convenience store and become involved in a half million-dollar deal.
As the deceptions and duplicity mount, it becomes more and more difficult to figure out who is conning whom, and we begin to ask ourselves, "Who isn't a thief?"
Bielinsky passed on June 18, 2006 from a heart attack while in São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil, casting for an advertisement. He was 47.
Bielinsky had been active from 1981–2005.
