 Oliver Stone USA

His visceral exploration of corporate greed and hostile takeovers in 'Wall Street' and 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' defines cinema's engagement with business acquisition.

 Michael Winterbottom UK

His film 'The Trip to Italy' and particularly his work examining corporate structures reveal how acquisition and consumption shape identity and relationships in late capitalism.
