None of the American entries, anyhow.
Good drama, yes, but would you say "Argo" or "Zero" or "Les Mis" had much more to say than their straightforward stories?
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia.
Amour.
A Separation.
Elena.
These are films that rise to artistry, that do so while addressing timeless issues and that hold uncompromising mirrors up to their subjects and their times.
Yes, Hollywood at one time knew how to do this, though of course it was always only a small percentage of its output--- which is reasonable to expect.
