Divine Carcasse (Divine Body) is a 1998 Beninese ethnofiction film directed by the Belgian filmmaker Dominique Loreau.
Mixing fiction and ethnography, the film follows a 1955 Peugeot: initially owned by Simon, an expatriate European philosophy lecturer, the car comes to be owned by Joseph, who uses it as a taxi until it is abandoned at a mechanic's workshop. There it is scavenged for parts used by the artist Simonet Biokou to create a sculpture of the ram god Agbo.Susan Gorman, From (French) Automobile to (Beninois) Agbo: Mythology, Modernity and Divine Carcasse, EnterText, Vol. 4, No. 2 The car is caught between commodity fetishism and post-colonial fetish spirituality:
