Some years back a critic (I forget who) pointed out that for some great directors, the end of the Production Code didn't necessarily translate into films that equaled or surpassed their earlier work.

And I believe the same critic also pointed out the innovative artistic and narrative choices filmmakers in, for instance, China and Iran were making to get their messages across without hitting the censorship wall.
