Ah I just discovered a site to buy a eng subbed copy for $12.50. Already purchased!

about them:
The last bastion of arthouse cinema.

Most of the films available on this site have fallen into the public domain and do not infringe on any intellectual property rights. Other films are under the copyright of their respective owners. Movies are sold on a collector to collector basis, no rights are given or implied. If you believe a film offered on this site infringes on an existing copyright, please contact us with proof of ownership and the title will be removed at once.

Not sure if I can mention the site. PM if interested.

Part of me still wants to follow through with my project in spite of the problem being solved....perhaps I'm nuts
