satire of materialism

His surrealist films like 'The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie' and 'Viridiana' viciously mock middle-class consumerism and social hypocrisy through absurdist humor and ritualistic critique.

Films like 'Parasite' and 'Snowpiercer' savagely satirize class inequality and materialistic desire, exposing how economic systems breed desperation and moral compromise.

His dystopian works like 'Brazil' and 'Twelve Monkeys' present nightmarish visions of consumerism, bureaucracy, and capitalism consuming human identity and freedom.
