 Quentin Tarantino United States

He crafts narratives where personal revenge drives the plot with operatic violence and darkly comic sensibilities, making vengeance both cathartic and morally ambiguous.

 Damien Leone Italy

His Spaghetti Westerns, especially the 'Dollars Trilogy,' are built around lone gunmen seeking personal vengeance with mythic scope and visual mastery.
