You know, it's funny you say that, because I was so struck when I saw the movie(which I loved by the way) about how universal it would have been without the subtitles. I feel like it would have easily translated on image alone, which is remarkable in this day i age. I think the only potentially confusing part would be:



Of course, I agree it'd be better if there were some sort of means to keep film audio with his subtitles, or two sets of subtitles, or a dubbed english track(as much as I hate them, just something to keep you really fresh). But all things being equal, in this particular film, I think it can overcome the problems you describe.
