DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Peter Greenaway United Kingdom

His baroque visual style and obsession with cataloging, excess, and historical spectacle mirror the frenzy and artificiality of speculative market bubbles.

 Joachim Trier Denmark

His films explore systems of control, economic desperation, and the psychological collapse of individuals caught in cycles of desire and financial ruin.

 Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His examination of capitalism, commodification of desire, and how markets exploit human vulnerability directly parallels tulip speculation's emotional and economic excess.
