DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Martin Scorsese USA

His films like 'Wall Street', 'The Wolf of Wall Street', and 'Casino' obsessively examine the corrupting allure of wealth and financial ambition.

 Bong Joon-ho South Korea

His masterpieces 'Parasite' and 'Snowpiercer' dissect class struggle and the desperation that money—or its absence—creates in modern society.

 Sidney Lumet USA

Films like 'Dog Day Afternoon', 'Network', and 'Power' unflinchingly explore how financial desperation and greed drive human behavior and institutional corruption.
