DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Damien Leone Italy

His spaghetti westerns, particularly 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,' explore greed and the obsessive hunt for treasure with operatic intensity and moral ambiguity.

 Ethan Coen United States

From 'No Country for Old Men' to 'Inside Llewyn Davis,' the Coens repeatedly examine how greed destroys lives and how the pursuit of fortune often leads to ruin and emptiness.
