DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Federico Fellini Italy

His films like 'La Dolce Vita' and 'Satyricon' masterfully dissect the decadence, corruption, and moral emptiness of Roman and Italian high society.

 Tinto Brass Italy

Known for provocative explorations of power dynamics and sensuality in aristocratic circles, particularly evident in 'Caligula' and 'The Key.'

 Steven Soderbergh United States

His films examine privilege, corruption, and social hierarchies with sophistication, exploring how the elite operate and justify their excesses.
