DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Martin Scorsese United States

His films obsessively explore luck, chance, and the psychological compulsion of gambling as forces that define human fate and morality.

 Gaspar Noé France

He examines fortune and chance as brutal, indifferent cosmic forces that randomly determine characters' destinies and suffering.

 Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

His cinema delicately captures how small moments of luck and chance intersect with human connection to shape ordinary lives and redemption.
