DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His work obsessively examines capitalist exploitation, financial dependency, and the psychological destruction caused by debt and economic inequality.

 Luis Buñuel Spain

Through surrealist narratives, Buñuel critiques capitalist systems of debt, money-lending, and the absurdity of economic servitude in films like 'The Exterminating Angel.'
