Oscar winner Michael Haneke receives Spain’s Prince of Asturias Award

Spain’s Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts has gone this year to Amour director Michael Haneke, Deadline said.

The two-time Palme d’Or winner was given a $65,000 prize to go with the honor.

The jury hailed his “constantly evolving” filmography and praised his “dazzling mastery” that employs “radical sincerity, keen observation and extreme subtlety” for an “original and highly personal approach to fundamental issues that concern and affect us both individually and collectively.”

Established in 1980, the Prince of Asturias awards honor an individual or institution whose work “constitutes a significant contribution to mankind’s culture heritage.” Pedro Almodovar is a previous recipient.
