DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Fincher USA

His films like Fight Club and The Social Network dissect consumerism, materialism, and the commodification of identity in modern capitalism.

 Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

He relentlessly critiqued capitalist consumer culture and commodity fetishism as mechanisms of social control and emotional manipulation.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His aesthetically lush films explore desire, consumption, and the emptiness beneath Hong Kong's hyper-consumerist culture through visual excess and melancholy.
