Well, it would be nice, but often it is not possible, due to subtle, and not so subtle things about which the receiver might have no idea. Cultural and historical things of great importance might not be known to the new audience. How many people read books before going to a foreign movie? How many people read on American history, for pete's sake, before going to the Patriot movie?
In many works there are underflows, undertones, hints and such that will be totally lost.
Ironically, the same is probably true of many foreign movies that we DO like.
So yes, art CAN transcend, but is not guaranteed to.
