DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luchino Visconti Italy

His operatic dramas, particularly 'The Leopard' and 'Rocco and His Brothers', intricately examine class, inheritance, and the moral corruption that wealth and family succession breed.

 Ingmar Bergman Sweden

Through films like 'Fanny and Alexander' and 'The Magic Flute', Bergman unflinchingly probes family secrets, inheritance of trauma, and the psychological inheritance passed through generations.
