Rendezvous With Madness: Of all the city’s many, many film festivals (and there’s a half-dozen this week alone), none have a purview that’s quite as unique as the one for Rendezvous With Madness. An appropriate choice for opening night, Mad to Be Normal stars David Tennant as R.D. Laing, one of the most charismatic and controversial figures in the history of psychiatry — co-starring Gabriel Byrne and the ubiquitous Elisabeth Moss, the film makes its Canadian premiere at the festival. Brazilian and Ekran Polish film festivals: This fight for moviegoers’ eyeballs continues with two more international-minded events this weekend. BRAFF wraps up on Nov. 5 with Joao, another recent film that dramatizes the life of an icon of Brazilian music: classical pianist Joao Carlos Martins.
