The Case of the Bermuda Triangle There is an area of the Western Atlantic, between Florida and Bermuda, where ships and planes have vanished without trace, in such numbers and in such strange circumstances that seemingly no rational explanations are possible. UFOs, time-space warps, magnetic anomalies have all been seriously suggested as the cause of these disappearances, which are still going on today.
Is there a rational solution to the case of the Bermuda Triangle or is this a mystery that science cannot solve? By investigating some of the best known and more bizarre of these incidents, an answer begins to emerge.

(Le Souffle au Coeur)
Directed by Louis MALLE starring
Lea Massari , Benoit Ferreux
The international season of films by six of Europe's most distin- guished directors continues with a French comedy about a young boy tormented by an Oedipus complex Dijon, 1954: 15-year-old Laurent Chevalier has begun to question the ready-made values handed him at school and at home, so his elder brothers decide it is time for his sexual initiation. The growing-up process is halted when Laurent is confined to bed with a heart murmur, but when his mother takes him to a mountain spa to convalesce he leaves his childhood behind for ever.
It's French, frank, Freudian and funny.
