-	'''Michael Haneke''' (born [[March 23]], [[1942]] in [[Munich]], [[Bavaria]], [[Germany]]) is a controversial [[Austria|Austrian]] filmmaker and writer best known for his [[bleak]] and, for some, [[disturbing]] style. His films often document problems and failures in modern society. Haneke has worked in [[television]]‚ [[theater]] and [[Film|cinema]]. He is also known for [[Political cinema|raising social issues in his work]]. His next film is [[Happy End (2017 film)|''Happy End'']].	+
-	== Themes ==	+
-	:''"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 as catharsis''", ISBN 3901272003	+
-		+
-	Rejecting what is considered to be standard conventions of timing, the build up of suspense and logical plotting, Haneke is not worried about inducing boredom, irritation and frustration. His films are considered to be very immediate without being simplistic. Arguably concerned with a society that no longer knows how to love—or for that matter how to hate—his films are in many ways an attempt to resharpen the audience's feelings and responses to the world.	+
-		+
-	Recurring themes include:	+
-	* the introduction of a malevolent force into comfortable bourgeois existence, as seen in ''[[Funny Games (1997 film)|Funny Games]]'' and ''[[Caché (film)|Caché]]'';	+
-	* a critique directed towards mass media, especially television, as seen in ''Funny Games'', where some of the characters are aware that they feature in a movie, and ''Benny's Video''.	+
-	* the inability or unwillingness to communicate directly from one person to another, or an unwillingness to involve oneself in the actions and decisions of others, even those in the same living conditions, as seen in ''[[Benny's Video]]'', ''[[71 Fragmente einer Chronologie des Zufalls (1994 film)|71 Fragmente einer Chronologie des Zufalls]]'' and ''[[Code Unknown|Code inconnu: Récit incomplet de divers voyages]]''.	+
-	* characters named George and Anna (or some alternate version of those names)	+
