This was on TCM once but I missed the beginning and had to leave before it ended so I didn't see much of it. I understand it was filmed with two different endings, one version for release in the US and one for Japanese audiences. Both are supposedly available now, I guess on the DVD release.
And yes, part of the "impact" of the story is supposed to come from the fact that the two men speak different languages and can't really communicate with each other verbally. So leaving the subtitles off (for someone who understands only one of the languages involved) would probably make it a more interesting experience the first time around.
