Life
Roskam was born Michaël Reynders in Sint-Truiden in 1972, but took his mother's surname “Roskam” and abbreviated his father's surname, Reynders, as “R.”. After attending grammar school, Roskam initially studied painting and contemporary art at the Hogeschool Sint-Lukas in Brussels until 1997 .

Roskam released his first short film Haun in 2002 ; His second short film Carlo followed in 2004 . He also directed video installations. In 2005 he completed his Masters in Screenplay Development and Screenwriting at the Binger Filmlab in Amsterdam .

Roskam's debut feature film was Bullhead , in which he again cast Matthias Schoenaerts in the lead role. The film freely tells the story of the veterinary inspector Karel Van Noppen, who was murdered in 1995, and is set in Sint-Truiden, Roskam's birthplace. Bullhead premiered at the Berlinale 2011 in February 2011 and won numerous awards. In addition to winning two Magrittes , the film was nominated for a César in the category “ Best Foreign Film ” and in 2012 for an Oscar in the category “ Best Foreign Language Film ”.
