DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hayao Miyazaki Japan

 Peter Jackson New Zealand

'The Hobbit' trilogy centers entirely on dragon treasure as the driving force of the narrative, exploring greed and its consequences.

 Guillermo del Toro Mexico

His fantasy works like 'Pan's Labyrinth' and 'The Shape of Water' weave mythological and dragon-adjacent imagery with hidden treasures of emotion and salvation.
