DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Alejandro González Iñárritu Mexico

His films like 'Babel' and 'Biutiful' unflinchingly dissect how greed and inherited privilege perpetuate cycles of suffering across families and societies.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

Through darkly absurdist narratives in films like 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' and 'Poor Things,' he explores how inheritance—wealth, trauma, moral debt—corrupts human relationships.

 Wes Anderson United States

His masterpieces 'There Will Be Blood' and 'Inherent Vice' examine how greed drives ambition across generations and the moral bankruptcy of inherited power systems.
