Michael Haneke Bio
Michael Haneke, an Austrian filmmaker and screenwriter, was born in Munich, Germany, on March 23, 1942. He became a prominent figure in European cinema in the latter part of the 20th century and the early 21st century as a result of the stark and unsettling nature of his films. A significant portion of his body of work investigates contemporary milieus of the middle class and the prevalence of tendencies toward social alienation and brutality. Haneke got his start as a director in the theatre, which eventually led to him being offered opportunities to direct films for television. The following movies were released during his most productive decade: Code inconnu: Récit incomplet de divers voyages (2000), The Piano Teacher (2001), Time of the Wolf (2003), Hidden (Caché) (2005), Funny Games (2007), and The White Ribbon (2008). Michael Haneke is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and original directors working in the film industry at the present time.
