DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Akira Kurosawa Japan

His samurai films like 'Sanjuro' and 'Throne of Blood' explore the moral complexities and devastating consequences of revenge within feudal hierarchies.

 Damien Leone Italy

His spaghetti westerns, particularly the 'Dollars Trilogy', are narratives fundamentally built on personal vengeance and settling old feudal-like scores.

 Park Chan-wook South Korea

His 'Vengeance Trilogy' and films like 'The Handmaiden' obsessively examine how revenge cycles perpetuate across generations and social classes.
