''Burning an Illusion'' is a British film, written and directed by Menelik Shabazz, about a young British-born black woman's love life, mostly shot in London's Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove communities. 〔(Ade Solanke, "Burning and Illusion (1981)", BFI Screenonline )〕 It was only the second British feature to have been made by a black director, following Horace Ové’s 1975 ''Pressure''. 〔(''Burning an Illusion'', DVD Video Review, 1 September 2005. )〕〔(Marva Jackson Lord, Griots.net )〕 Imruh Bakari worked with Shabazz and co-founded Kumba productions with him. ''Burning an Illusion'' is notable for breaking the tradition of placing white males at the centre of the story. It is also unique in prioritizing the personal drama of black woman over the socio-economic and political conflicts traditionally associated with such films. As Ade Solanke writes: "Like all drama, the film is about characters facing conflicts. But unlike most dramas about black people up till then, for most of the story it dramatises personal conflicts, not socio-economic or political ones."〔 It is available at the British Film Institute. ==Main cast members== * Cassie McFarlane (Pat Williams); * Victor Romero Evans (Del Bennett); * Beverley Martin (Sonia); * Angela Wynter (Cynthia); * Malcolm Fredericks (Chamberlain) * Corinne Skinner Carter (Pat's mother) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burning an Illusion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
