DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His obsessive explorations of human ambition and greed in extreme landscapes, particularly in Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo, examine the destructive pursuit of treasure and golden dreams.

 Damien Leone Italy

His spaghetti westerns, especially The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, mythologize the search for gold and buried treasure as the ultimate expression of desire and morality.
