Funnily enough, the German subs added in post were spaced more conveniently and more legible than the in-movie subs. But at the same time it was obvious they watered the information down significantly - unfortunately a common practice in translational subtitling - I've taken courses. So I was torn between the more accurate original subtitles - which were a bit of a chore to read due to the format, and the more legible German ones, which took away some of the charme. It was weird. But nothing a cross-eyed compromise couldn't solve.
But it didn't take much away from the experience. I'm glad this was the movie I got to see on the big screen after such a long time.
