DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Martin Scorsese → USA

His films like *Wall Street*, *The Wolf of Wall Street*, and *Casino* obsessively dissect the corrupting psychology of greed and material excess in American society.

Bong Joon-ho → South Korea

His masterworks *Parasite* and *Snowpiercer* use greed as the central engine of class conflict and desperation in meticulously constructed social hierarchies.

Sergei Eisenstein → Soviet Union

His revolutionary films like *October: Ten Days That Shook the World* and *Battleship Potemkin* explore greed and capitalist exploitation as historical forces worthy of epic visual scrutiny.
