Also, isn't there the Imamura film -- I can't recall exactly, but I
believe it's the "Insect Woman" in which one of the sub-prostitute
marries (? -lives with) a Korean man who basically takes care of the
child and follows her around (often times interfering with her ability to
do business).  I found myself trying to read into that portrayal because
he seemed such a simpleton, and yet his love for her seemed much deeper
and more child-like than any of the Japanese/Japanese relationships, in
which business acumen or outside motives seemed to dominate..

Also, forgive my haste in the last e: Keats comment was "negative
capability," Eliot;s was "objective correlative." (Not that it keeps
moisture out of the salt like a grain of rice, but -- ) Reminded myself a
little of Mamet: "People rarely say what they mean but they always mean
what they mean."
