DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His films dissect the corruption of wealth and moral decay in modern capitalism, particularly in works like Salò where opulence becomes obscene.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

He captures the melancholic beauty of decaying urban spaces and characters trapped between material desire and spiritual emptiness in films like Fallen Angels.
