What's behind the depressing, naturalistic "grime" tone of 1970s movies compared to those before and after?

This will sound familiar to anyone who has seen a lot of films, but it's something that has always puzzled me: Movies before the 1970s had a lot of theatrical polish and tended to fit into certain fixed boxes, and movies after the 1970s had a different kind of theatrical polish and fit into a new set of boxes, but '70s movies were relatively free-form, lyrical - even messy.
