Ahed's knee has been available since January 18 on Blu-Ray and DVD (€19.99), published by Pyramide Vidéo. It offers many bonuses: a short film also released in 2021 entitled The star with a presentation by Nadav Lapid, a 29-minute interview with the director, and a commentary on the film by Morgan Pokée, film critic.
