Re: Deep movies that seem shallow on the surface.
Being there (forget who said it) is a fantastic choice, but when I hear this, I think "Election." On repeat viewings, you realize that w/ Alexander Payne, you are in the presence of a genius who really understands the nuances of comedy and realism like few American directors. If you don't believe me, watch the director's commentary. It's very clear this guy knows what he's doing (as he would show with later films).
