A bit of history to bring us together. "DAHOMEY  a film by MATI DIOP https://ainsiparlaitlart.blogspot.com   Les Films du Losange ( www.filmsdulosange.com). "DAHOMEY," a film by Mati Diop - Golden Bear of the 74th Berlin International Film Festival   A bit of history   The Kingdom of DAHOMEY (Danxomé in the Fon language) is an ancient African kingdom located in the south of present-day Benin. It was founded in the 17th century by King Houegbadja. Under his reign and that of his descendants—a single dynasty ruling for three centuries—the kingdom became a considerable regional power, characterized by a highly structured local economy, a prosperous transatlantic trade, a centralized administration, a tax system, and a powerful army that included the famous Amazons (Agodjié). In 1892, during the reign of King Béhanzin, Colonel Dodds invaded Abomey, the kingdom's capital, and by 1895, Dahomey was integrated into the French colonial empire.

Affiche du film "Dahomey" de Mati Diop  (LES FILMS DU LOSANGE) https://ainsiparlaitlart.blogspot.com ENGLISH WORLD The first vector of communication for a film is the poster, before the trailer.

  The Roses in the Garden of the Palais Royal, Paris, France Paris Photo Gallery Crédits photo : Gérard Pocquet https://ainsiparlaitlart.blogspot.com  The Symbolism of the Rose Offering a rose, regardless of its color, is a gesture filled with meaning. It can express deep emotions, commemorate a special occasion, or simply be a way to bring joy to someone.
