“Stay away from the water. A haunting love story.”
Whilst going on his usual morning run, Josh (Joseph Sentance) witnesses a woman killing herself by jumping off a bridge. Obviously shaken, he informs the police, but instantly returns to work doing historical recreations on the Phoenix, an historical boat and surprisingly popular tourist trap. As if his life hadn’t become complicated enough, Josh begins to see apparitions of the mysterious woman he witnessed committing suicide. After stumbling across an old photo given to him by his antique dealing friend (Edward Mitchell) and after obsessive research, he seems to believe that the she may be Emily Carson (Kate Young), a young woman who had committed suicide around 160 years previously after her lover was killed in battle. »

Mad To Be Normal gets UK release this April
6 February 2017 6:50 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Following its world premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival later this month, the David Tennant-headlined Mad To be Normal is set to hit UK cinemas on April 6th, after an exclusive one week run in Glasgow from March 23rd.
Mad To Be Normal, tells the fascinating story of world-renowned Scottish psychiatrist R.D.Laing and his unique community at Kingsley Hall, East London, during the 1960’s. R.D. Laing was one of Scotland’s most creative thinkers, and in the 60’s and 70’s was the world’s best-known psychiatrist. His books regularly topped the student best-seller lists in the USA, he shared the same stage as bands like the Grateful Dead, recited poetry at jazz clubs and was never far away from controversy. The psychiatric establishment regularly tried to close his community at Kingsley Hall, seeing his occasional therapeutic use of LSD and his belief in metanoia (self-healing) as irresponsible and unscientific. »
