DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Martin Scorsese → United States

His films like 'Wall Street,' 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' and 'Casino' obsessively examine the corrosive psychology of greed and material excess in American culture.

David Fincher → United States

Through 'Fight Club,' 'The Social Network,' and 'Gone Girl,' he critiques consumer culture, corporate capitalism, and the dark impulses driving ambition and acquisition.

Bong Joon-ho → South Korea

His masterworks 'Parasite,' 'Snowpiercer,' and 'Mother' use genre filmmaking to dissect class inequality, consumerism, and humanity's parasitic relationship with wealth and survival.
