He worked as cinematographer for the Coen brothers, then later he directed films such as ''The Addams Family'' and its sequel, ''Addams Family Values'' along with the ''Men in Black'' trilogy, and the critically acclaimed ''Get Shorty''.

==Life and career==
Sonnenfeld was born and raised in New York City, the son of Kelly, an art teacher, and Sonny Sonnenfeld. He was raised in a Jewish family. After he received his bachelor's degree from Hampshire College, he graduated from New York University of Film School in 1978. He began working on pornographic films, before starting work as director of photography on the Oscar-nominated ''In Our Water'' (1982). Then Joel Coen and Ethan Coen hired him for ''Blood Simple'' (1985). This film began his collaboration with the Coen brothers, who used him for their next two pictures, ''Raising Arizona'' (1987) and ''Miller's Crossing'' (1990). He also worked with Danny DeVito on ''Throw Momma from the Train'' (1987) and Rob Reiner on ''When Harry Met Sally'' (1989) and ''Misery'' (1990).
Sonnenfeld gained his first work as a director from Paramount Pictures on ''The Addams Family'', a box-office success released in November 1991. Its sequel, ''Addams Family Values'' (1993), was not as successful at the box office, but he received critical acclaim for his fourth directorial outing, ''Get Shorty'' (1995). Produced by Jersey Films and based on a novel by Elmore Leonard, the film won a Golden Globe for John Travolta (Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical). The film was also entered into the 46th Berlin International Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Berlinale: 1996 Programme )〕 Following Tim Burton and the Coen Brothers, Sonnenfeld would tell stories about unusual, unorthodox people who are into the unexpected and the strange. He would use as his trademarks unusual camera angles, offbeat dialog, and in certain films, strange behavior and weird creatures.
In 1996, Steven Spielberg asked him to direct ''Men in Black'' (1997). Starring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, the film was a critical and financial smash. Producer Jon Peters then asked Sonnenfeld to direct ''Wild Wild West'' (1999), an adaptation of an old TV series. ''Wild Wild West'' was an expensive disappointment. He also directed the comedy ''Big Trouble'' (2002), after which he made his most successful film sequel, ''Men in Black II'' (2002). He is also a contributing editor for ''Esquire''. He also co-produced the 2007 film ''Enchanted'' for Disney that starred Amy Adams. In 2008, Sonnenfeld earned an Emmy for directing ''Pushing Daisies''. On April 21, 2010, it was announced that Sonnenfeld intended to return for ''Men in Black 3''. The film, released in 2012 worldwide, received good reviews and became the highest grossing in the series. He lives in New York City with his wife Susan and their daughter Chloe.
