DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Billy Wilder Austria-USA

His films like 'The Apartment' and 'Sunset Boulevard' explore how sudden fortune corrupts relationships and exposes human weakness.

 Bong Joon-ho South Korea

Works such as 'Parasite' and 'Mother' penetrate the desperation and moral compromises that sudden wealth or its absence creates across class boundaries.

 Ernst Lubitsch Germany-USA

His comedies including 'Trouble in Paradise' cleverly dissect how unexpected riches destabilize characters' desires, identities, and social hierarchies.
