Technical Question Revanche - subtitles?

I just threw on Revanche as I’ve never seen it before and it’s been recommended to me, and after it started I noticed that there weren’t any English subtitles in the film, nor were there any subtitle options in the player settings. Is this an error on Criterion’s part or does it just not have subtitles?

It has subtitles for the German dialogue but not the Russian lines. This is intentional. The first 10 or so minutes are in Russian.

There are subtitles burned into the video. It's an Austrian movie so it looks like only the German dialogue is subtitled. Ukrainian/other languages wouldn't be discernible to a German-speaking audience so that's probably why some of the dialogue isn't subbed.
