His work often examines social issues, and depicts the feelings of estrangement experienced by individuals in modern society.[1] Haneke has worked in television‚ theatre and cinema. Besides working as a filmmaker, Haneke also teaches film direction at the Film
Film Academy Vienna. At the 2009 Cannes Film
Film Festival, his film The White Ribbon
The White Ribbon won the Palme d'Or, and at the 67th Golden Globe Awards
67th Golden Globe Awards the film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In 2012, his film Amour premiered and competed at the 2012 Cannes Film
Film Festival.[2][3] The film would go on to win the Palme d'Or, making it his second win of the prestigious award in three years; this made him the seventh director (at the time) to have won it twice and the only Austrian director to have accomplished this.[4] The film received five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actress in a Leading Role

Life and career[edit]
Haneke was born in Munich, Germany, the son of German actor and
director Fritz Haneke and Austrian actress Beatrix von
Degenschild (de). His stepfather, the composer Alexander
Steinbrecher (de), had later married the mother of actor
Christoph Waltz.[6] Haneke was raised in the city of Wiener Neustadt,
Austria, and later attended the
University of Vienna
University of Vienna to study
philosophy, psychology and drama after failing to achieve success in
his early attempts in acting and music. After graduating, he became a
film critic and from 1967 to 1970 he worked as editor and dramaturg at
the southwestern German television station Südwestfunk. He made his
debut as a television director in 1974.
Haneke's feature film debut was 1989's The Seventh Continent, which
served to trace out the violent and bold style that would bloom in
later years. Three years later, the controversial
Benny's Video
Benny's Video put
Haneke's name on the map. Haneke achieved great success in 2001 with
the critically successful French film The Piano Teacher. It won the
prestigious Grand Prize at the 2001 Cannes
Film
Film Festival and also won
its stars,
Benoît Magimel
Benoît Magimel and Isabelle Huppert, the Best Actor and
Actress awards. He has worked with
Juliette Binoche
Juliette Binoche (
Code Unknown
Code Unknown in
2000 and Caché in 2005), after she expressed interest in working with
him.[7] Haneke frequently worked with real-life couple Ulrich Mühe
and
Susanne Lothar

Susanne Lothar – thrice each.
His film, The White Ribbon, premiered at the 2009 Cannes
Film
Film Festival
and won the Palme d'Or. The film is set in 1913 and deals with strange
incidents in a small town in Northern Germany, depicting an
authoritarian, fascist-like atmosphere, where children are subjected
to rigid rules and suffer harsh punishments, and where strange deaths
occur. In 2012, his film Amour also won the Palme d'Or.
Haneke says that films should offer viewers more space for imagination
and self-reflection. Films that have too much detail and moral
clarity, Haneke says, are used for mindless consumption by their
viewers.[8]
His 2012 film Amour won the Best Foreign Language Oscar and was
nominated for the Best Picture Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards.[5] In
2013 he was the subject of the documentary film Michael H –
Profession: Director.[9][10]
Stage work[edit]
Haneke has directed a number of stage productions in German, which
include works by Strindberg, Goethe, and
Heinrich von Kleist
Heinrich von Kleist in
Berlin,
Munich
Munich and Vienna. In 2006 he gave his debut as an opera
director, staging Mozart's
Don Giovanni
Don Giovanni for the Opéra National de
Paris at
Palais Garnier
Palais Garnier when the theater's general manager was Gerard
Mortier. In 2012, he was to direct
Così fan tutte
Così fan tutte for the New York
City Opera.[11] This production had originally been commissioned by
Jürgen Flimm for the
Salzburg Festival
Salzburg Festival 2009, but Haneke had to resign
due to an illness preventing him from preparing the work. Haneke
realized this production at Madrid's
Teatro Real
Teatro Real in 2013.[12]
Quotes[edit]
This section is a candidate to be copied to Wikiquote using the Transwiki process.
"My films are intended as polemical statements against the American 'barrel down' cinema and its dis-empowerment of the spectator. They are an appeal for a cinema of insistent questions instead of false (because too quick) answers, for clarifying distance in place of violating closeness, for provocation and dialogue instead of consumption and consensus."
—From "
Film
Film as catharsis".[13]
"Pornography, it seems to me, is no different from war films or propaganda films in that it tries to make the visceral, horrific, or transgressive elements of life consumable. Propaganda is far more pornographic than a home video of two people fucking."[14]
"
Film
Film is 24 lies per second at the service of truth, or at the service
of the attempt to find the truth."[15]
"My favourite film-maker of the decade is Abbas Kiarostami. He achieves a simplicity that's so difficult to attain."[16]
"I do think that our perception of reality is fragmentary, and in 20th-century literature, it's totally normal to not describe reality as something whole and completely transportable and explicable. That's been accepted in novels. But genre films always pretend that reality is transportable, which means that it is explicable."[17]
"Consider the pigeon just a pigeon...There are lots of pigeons in Paris."
—On the meaning of pigeons in his movies[18]

what Haneke has become famous for. Over the last two decades, the
director has developed a reputation for stark, often brutal films that
place the viewer – sometimes subtly, sometimes explicitly – in the
uncomfortable role of accomplice to the crimes playing out on-screen.
This approach has made Haneke one of contemporary cinema's most
reviled and revered figures, earning him everything from accusations
of obscenity to a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. Funny
Games, the movie Haneke was shooting in New York and Long Island, is
the American remake of a highly controversial film by the same name
that he directed in 1997.
