Classic film scenes recreated in Africa

American Beauty’s rose petals are replaced with luscious leaves

Senegalese photographer Omar Victor Diop and French-American Antoine Tempé decided to recreate classic film scenes as if they were shot in Africa.

“Cinema is probably the form of art that is the most universal, as it transcends all barriers, be they geographic, cultural, or racial,” said the two photographers.
