There is nothing that cannot be explained by contemporary science and nothing ever happens that could not conceivably occur in RealLife as we know it. A DreamSequence is the only way in which the otherwise hyper-realism in the work can be [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]. Darker works on this end often emphasize the irrevocable and often [[TrueArtIsAngsty brutal nature of mortality]], as well as the depiction of social injustices, such as exploitation of the poor on behalf of the rich. Films in this category may often be [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible pretentious creations]], often trying to be TrueArt. About the most 'fantastic' thing that happens here is a ContrivedCoincidence or two designed to bring as much bad luck (or good luck) to the characters as possible. ScienceFiction and {{Fantasy}} are by definition ruled out from belonging to this category.\\
