More about big heads than big breasts?
Does "more about big heads than big breasts" mean "more about big ideas than artistry (of beauty and sexuality)"?
Context:
When TV drama The Empress of China returned to the small screen this year after a "temporary pause due to technical problems", it was more about big heads than big breasts.
No one can say for certain whether or not the TV and film watchdog edited the film and put it back on the "right" track. But there is no doubt that the change has created a controversy, just like Jiang Wen’s Gone With The Bullets. More importantly, the drastic cuts in The Empress of China show that the authorities want to minimize the number of "frivolous scenes" in TV programs.

I think it's more literal than that. It's saying that shots of "big *******" (in this case apparently low-cut dresses and cleavage) were replaced by shots of "big heads". It isn't very obvious just from the text you posted why "big heads" would be used.
