DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Martin Scorsese USA

His films like 'Wall Street,' 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' and 'Casino' obsessively dissect the intoxicating allure and destructive consequences of wealth and greed in American culture.

 Damien Leone Italy

His spaghetti westerns, particularly the 'Dollars Trilogy,' explore greed, gold, and moral corruption through operatic violence and morally ambiguous antiheroes.

 Bong Joon-ho South Korea

His films like 'Parasite' and 'Snowpiercer' examine class inequality and the desperation bred by economic greed with darkly comic precision.
