Life and career
Haneke is the son of German actor and producer Fritz Haneke and Austrian actress Beatrix von Degenschild. Alexander Steinbrecher, his stepfather, had later married actress Christoph Waltz's mother. Haneke was born in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, where she was raised.
Haneke expressed a keen interest in literature and music as an adolescent, but there was also a "downright contempt for any form of learning." He has later described himself as a "rebel" during this period of his life. He had aspirations of being an actor in his youth but ended up abandoning those plans after failing an entrance examination at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna. He later attended the University of Vienna to study philosophy, psychology, and drama. If he isn't a committed student, he would spend the majority of his time at local movie theaters. After leaving university, he began working odd jobs before starting as an editor and dramaturge at the southwestern German television station Südwestfunk from 1967 to 1970, a period in which he also served as a film critic. In 1974, he made his debut as a television director.
The Seventh Continent, 1989, Haneke's debut film, which traces the tense and bold style that would come to fame in later years. Haneke's name was on the map three years after the controversial Benny's Video put his name on the map. Haneke's critically acclaimed French film The Piano Teacher had a huge success in 2001. It received the coveted Grand Prize at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival while also winning its actors, Benoît Magimel and Isabelle Huppert, the Best Actor and Actress awards. Since she expressed an interest in working with Juliette Binoche (Code Unknown in 2000 and Caché in 2005), she has worked with him. Haneke used to work with real-life couple Ulrich Mühe and Susanne Lothar, thrice each.
The White Ribbon, his film, premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and was named winner of the Palme d'Or. The film is set in 1913 and depicts an authoritarian, fascist-like atmosphere, where children are subjected to stringent regulations and harsh punishments, and where strange deaths occur. He also received the Palme d'Or in 2012.
According to Haneke, films should give viewers more space for imagination and self-reflection. Haneke says that films with too much detail and moral comprehensibility are used by their viewers for mindless consumption.
Amour's 2012 film received the Best Foreign Language Oscar and was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards. Michael H. Profession: Director was the subject of the documentary film Michael H. Haneke received the Prince of Asturias Award for the arts that year.

He made his debut as an opera conductor in 2006, starring Mozart's Don Giovanni for the Opéra National de Paris, when the theater's general manager, Gérard Mortier, was in charge of Palais Garnier.
