Quiet Days in Clichy comes to 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray from Blue Underground. Presented in the original 1.66 widescreen aspect ratio, the picture has been scanned in 4K 16-bit from a recently discovered original fine grain negative of the uncut and uncensored version. As it is, this is a brilliant looking black and white presentation with sharp detail throughout and while the 4K does look excellent, the Blu-ray transfer also looks phenomenal. There were no signs of any film damage or specs making the transfers on both formats absolutely incredible.

The movie comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track which showcases some strong dialogue throughout and despite being a singular track, some modest depth with the late 60s era music and score.
