The outrageous freedom of early film is one of its greatest pleasures.
The first narrative movies are not so much uncensored as untamed, not yet held captive by decorum.
This is the side of “primitive” cinema admired by French surrealists, who saw in it a means of unlocking the irrational and unconscious.
