A Man on His Knees receives a commendable Blu-ray presentation courtesy of Radiance Films, featuring an AVC encoded 1080p transfer from a 4K restoration at Augustus Color. Despite minor age-related artifacts and some variances in color timing and detail, the overall quality is appealing and preserves the original aspect ratio and mono audio.

Audio: 73

A Man on His Knees offers LPCM 2.0 Mono audio in Italian with noticeable crackling at higher amplitudes, though dialogue remains clear overall, complemented by optional English subtitles; a generally listenable track. Score: 3.25.

Extra: 69

The Blu-ray offers a comprehensive collection of extras, including in-depth interviews—Alberto Pezzotta provides insight into Damiani’s work, while archival footage features actors Giuliano Gemma and Tano Cimarosa, and assistant director Mino Giarda. An informative insert booklet and a reversible sleeve enhance the package.

Movie: 81

A Man on His Knees masterfully blends visceral storytelling and a whirlwind of events with Damiano Damiani's signature Neo-Neorealist style, capturing the gritty resilience of an everyman in a world dominated by organized crime, all while resonating with Italy's cinematic traditions and societal critiques.
