DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Bong Joon-ho South Korea

His films like Parasite and Mother interrogate class inequality and how wealth creates moral corruption and social division.

 Wes Anderson United States

Through works like There Will Be Blood and Boogie Nights, he explores how the pursuit of wealth destroys relationships and corrodes the human soul.

 Cristian Mungiu Romania

His minimalist approach in films like 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days reveals how material desperation and wealth disparity breed complicity and tragedy.
