DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Martin Scorsese USA

His films like *Wall Street*, *The Wolf of Wall Street*, and *Casino* obsessively dissect the corrupting psychology of greed and ambition in capitalist America.

 Bong Joon-ho South Korea

Through *Parasite*, *Snowpiercer*, and *Mother*, he explores how greed and class hierarchy dehumanize individuals and fracture society.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His provocative films like *Salò* and *The Decameron* present greed, consumption, and exploitation as fundamental expressions of human degradation.
