The Danish film “In a Better World,” a hard-hitting drama about the lives of two struggling families, won the best foreign language film Oscar on Sunday.

“In a Better World” was helmed by Denmark’s Jewish star director Susanne Bier, who returned to her home turf after making the US-based “Things We Lost in the Fire” with Halle Berry in 2007.

Director and occasional scriptwriter Susanne Bier essayed a series of helming assignments in her native Denmark during the late ’90s and early 2000s, that clocked in as lucrative and popular enough to kick-start a highly respectable career for the filmmaker.
