dvdcompare review
"Buring an Illusion" has lost none of its impact after more than forty years, with the depiction of Black struggles, the showcase of police brutality, and the importance of standing up for one's own culture and identity being even more pronounced in the post George Floyd world. The BFI's Blu-ray release is an essential upgrade over the previous DVD release, with a great restoration of the film with a great selection of extras included. Highly recommended.
