## Early life and education

[edit]

Edward Berger was born in 1970[1] Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony, then West Germany.[2] His mother was from Switzerland, and his father, who was from Austria,[3][4] worked as a logistics manager at Volkswagen. He grew up in a middle-class family with three siblings.[2]

Berger graduated from the Theodor-Heuss-Gymnasium.[2][5] After graduating from high school, he attended the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig from 1990 to 1991. He then transferred to the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where he finished his studies in directing in 1994.[2][6]

He moved to Berlin in 1997.[7]

Berger has both Swiss[8] and Austrian citizenship through his parents.[9][10][11][12][13] He told Die Welt in 2023 that while he is not German by passport, he supports Germany in international football tournaments.[10] "If Germany plays Switzerland, I'm for Germany," he told Variety.[4] He told Die Zeit in 2023: "My father is Austrian, my mother Swiss, so there would be enough reason for me to be a little confused. What I always know is: I am European".[9]

## Career

[edit]

Berger has worked mostly in Germany and the United States.[14] He gathered his first work experience at the U.S. independent production company Good Machine, working, among others, on the films of Ang Lee, Todd Haynes,[7][15] and Edward Burns. In 1994 he headed the production department of the company.[12] In 1996 he gave a guest lecture at Columbia University film school,[12] and at Universität der Künste Berlin[7] and at the HFF Potsdam.

His first feature film, based on his own screenplay, was Gomez – Kopf oder Zahl ("Gomez – Heads or Tails"), in 1998.[12] In 2002, he directed a telemovie called Asylum, which was nominated for the International Emmy Award as well as the Grimme-Preis in Germany. In 2004, he wrote and directed a telemovie, Welcome to the Club.[16]

In 2008 worked as a screenwriter and director for four episodes of season 2 of television series KDD – Kriminaldauerdienst (KDD – Berlin Crime Squad).[16] In 2012, his film A Good Summer [de] was awarded the Grimme-Preis.[8]

His 2014 film Jack was invited into the official competition at the Berlinale 2014, and awarded the 2015 German Film Award in silver for the best feature film, after being nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. It also won Best Director and Best Picture at the German Directors Guild Awards.[16] Berger said in 2023 that he has always looked for a challenge in filmmaking: "That started with Jack, where the camera was really only on the boy's face, because I didn't want to give the audience any choice but to identify with him".[15][4]

In August 2014, Berger directed the eight-part television series Deutschland 83, which premiered as a special entry in the 2015 Berlinale. It was sold internationally, including to Canal+ in France and Channel 4 in the UK, and became the first German television show ever to air in the US.[16] The series won an International Emmy in 2016.[8]

He also directed the limited series Patrick Melrose (2018), starring Benedict Cumberbatch, for which he won his first BAFTA Award, for Best Limited Series.[citation needed]

Berger wrote, directed, and produced All Quiet on the Western Front, released in 2022.[15] The film received more Oscar nominations than any other German film before it (nine), after winning seven BAFTAs, surpassing the previous record of five set by Cinema Paradiso in 1988.[4] At the Oscars, it won  Best International Film.[17] It was praised by critics internationally, but German reviewers and historians criticised it for its lack of closeness to the book and lack of historical accuracy.[18]

His 2024 film Conclave, a drama set in the Holy See based on a novel by Robert Harris,[14] enjoyed great success, both critically and with audiences.[3][19][20] He described the film compared with All Quiet on the Western Front, as "like [going] from a physical war to an intellectual war. It felt like one of those great political conspiracy thrillers from the 1970s".[14]

His next film, due to be released in 2025, is The Ballad of a Small Player, with Colin Farrell and Tilda Swinton.[14]

Berger has been slated to direct the next film in the Bourne franchise (reportedly titled The Bourne Dilemma).[21][22] However, in October 2024 Berger was vague about his involvement in the film: "It's really not clear whether… I'm doing that film or not. I'm not doing it right now. And I really don't know what I will do in the future".[23]

Berger has also directed and produced music videos and artist film portraits.[12]

## Personal life

[edit]

Berger married actress Nele Mueller-Stöfen [de].[24] Mueller-Stöfen, born in Berlin in 1967, has acted on stage and screen, and is also a screenwriter. She has starred in several of Berger's films, as well as collaborating on the script of Jack.[25]
