A Simple Life's AVC-encoded 1080p Blu-ray transfer by Well Go USA, with precise detail and clean imaging, maintains Hui's intended muted browns and beiges. Despite some minor banding in transitions and shadow crush, it remains one of Well Go USA's most elegant and crisp presentations.

Audio: 64

A Simple Life's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track offers artful and subtle channelization, delivering clear dialogue and minimal, effective ambient sound, perfectly complementing the film's intimate and subdued nature, despite low-end sonics being nearly non-existent.

Extras on the Blu-ray of 'A Simple Life' are limited to a single theatrical trailer, available in both 1080p and SD formats, spanning approximately two minutes.

Movie: 76
