ENGLISH WORLD
The first vector of communication for a film is the poster, before the trailer. Let's try to decode the message it conveys before watching the film, without having read the synopsis.
For those familiar with Mati Diop, there’s no problem in decoding ATLANTIQUE above the title DAHOMEY, written in capital letters, indicating a thematic or stylistic continuity. The yellow-green color on a black background, along with the font size, immediately draws attention. A vibrant, sunny effect emerges.
The word "DAHOMEY" refers to a region in West Africa, now known as Benin. The film may explore historical or cultural aspects of this country; at the forefront, there is a statue. The central photograph features a man wearing a white hat and light-colored clothing. He is leaning over an artistic, traditional object that could be linked to the history or culture of Dahomey. The man appears to be meditating on the discovery of the preservation of cultural heritage.
It is mentioned that the film won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. This award is prominent and is likely to attract art-house cinema enthusiasts.
