Dahomey

Som et lysglimt i mudret mørke giver ’Dahomey’ et skarpt andet blik på et af tidens kontroversielle temaer.

’Dahomey’ er en både enkel og kort film, men de velvalgte fiktionsgreb gør den også umådeligt stor.

Beautiful, melancholy and intellectually stimulating, “Dahomey” is a documentary that should be seen by all.

With its focus on looted African art, Mati Diop’s captivating, fabulistic documentary Dahomey confronts the reality of how modernity has been shaped by the West’s theft of cultural heritage

...the agile poetry and formal playfulness of Mati Diop’s exquisite hybrid documentary belies the weight and wealth of ideas within.

...a blueprint for anti-colonialist action.
