I’ve just finished the movie Flags of our fathers and wanted to watch Letters from Iwo Jima since both movies go together. I found the Japanese-language version. Is there an English language one which doesn’t use English subtitles?

Nope.

ETA: I take that back… an English dubbed version was apparently released on DVD last year.
