DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Oliver Stone USA

His films like Wall Street and Scarface are definitive explorations of ambition, materialism, and the moral compromises of yuppie culture.

 Martin Scorsese USA

The Wolf of Wall Street and American Psycho (through his influence on 80s cinema) dissect the excess, greed, and hollowness at the heart of yuppie aspiration.

 Adrian Lyne UK

Fatal Attraction and 9½ Weeks capture the superficiality, sexual politics, and materialistic obsessions defining 1980s yuppie culture.
