OK...IT'S NOT TFF...BUT

Vanity Fair dropped first look stills from Damien Chazelle's Babylon yesterday and while that film did nit play TFF #49...I sure wish it had.  At any rate...what is likely to be at the top of my first set of Oscar predictions (coming soon!). At any rate,   here's a look at a couple of images and the link to the entire VF article.
