A Man On His Knees Blu-ray presents Damiano Damiani’s gripping and politically charged crime thriller, newly restored in 4K from the original negative.
 
A Man On His Knees Blu-ray follows Nino, a man with a troubled past who finds himself marked for death after being mistakenly identified as a witness to a Mafia crime. As an assassin closes in, Nino is forced into a relentless fight for survival, using every ounce of cunning and resilience to protect himself and his family. Damiani infuses the film with his signature realism, crafting a tense and grounded portrait of a man refusing to submit to the crushing power of organised crime.
 
Featuring powerful performances from Giuliano Gemma and Michele Placido, A Man On His Knees stands as one of Damiani’s finest works, blending suspense, social commentary and raw emotional intensity.
