inheritance and greed

Bergman's *Fanny and Alexander* and *Scenes from a Marriage* explore familial power dynamics, material legacy, and the corrosive effects of greed on human relationships.

Aster's *Hereditary* directly interrogates inherited trauma and family secrets, while *Midsommar* examines how groups exploit vulnerable individuals for material and spiritual gain.

Koreeda's *Tokyo Story*, *Like Father, Like Son*, and *The Third Person* examine intergenerational inheritance, moral legacies, and how families navigate wealth, responsibility, and belonging.
