corruption and morality

His revolutionary films explored the moral decay of capitalist systems and the corruption of power through montage-driven narratives that interrogated institutional morality.

Films like *Rashomon* and *High and Low* profoundly examine moral ambiguity, systemic corruption, and the subjective nature of truth within hierarchical societies.

His body of work—including *Serpico*, *Dog Day Afternoon*, and *Network*—systematically dissects institutional and governmental corruption with unflinching moral clarity.
