Adjacent divs with angled borders? [duplicate]

I want to create two divs which are floated left to each other, however with a slanted angled border separating them. I've attached a picture to demonstrate what I mean.

Does anyone know if something like this is possible with CSS (cutting off the content with an overflow:hidden I guess)

adjacent div with slanted side

These divs need to contain images that get cut off by the border, here is an example :

Try this

.left, .right {
  position: relative;
  height: 100px;
  width: 200px;
  background: #000;
  float: left;
}

.left:after {
  content: '';
  line-height: 0;
  font-size: 0;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
  border-top: 100px solid #000;
  border-bottom: 50px solid transparent;
  border-left: 0px solid transparent;
  border-right: 50px solid transparent;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: -50px;
}

.right {
  margin-left: 60px;
  width: 100px;
}

.right:before {
  content: '';
  line-height: 0;
  font-size: 0;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
  border-top: 50px solid transparent;
  border-bottom: 100px solid #000;
  border-left: 50px solid transparent;
  border-right: 0px solid #000;

All of the solutions so far depend on having a really thick angled border to divide the photos.

To avoid this you'd make a container and skew it. Then counter skew the image in the opposite direction.

Here's a CodePen http://cdpn.io/azvsA, but the gist of it is as follows:

.container {
  border-right: 10px solid white;
  overflow: hidden;
  transform (skewX(-20deg));
}

.image {
  transform (skewX(20deg));
}
