I went to IMBD.com to see what they had to say about this film and this humorous summary appeared:
Plot Summary for
Souffle au coeur, Le (1971)

This is a jolly coming-of-age story about a 15-year-old boy named Laurent Chevalier who is growing up in bourgeois surroundings in Dijon, France. This is France in the mid-1950s rather than America in the 1990s. Thus, Laurent is unharmed by events which would irreparably shatter the self-esteem of a modern American adolescent: he gets drunk, he smokes, he has sex (including incestuous sex), he is smothered by his mother, he is ignored by his father, a priest makes a pass at him, he gets rheumatoid fever, etc. There's enough scandalous behavior in this film to make 100 made-for-TV movies, and yet this is a very happy and oddly innocent tale.

At least I hope he was being funny..

Anyway, I'm looking for this film on DVD, but nothing comes up on Amazon.com. Do any of you know if it's been released on DVD and if so, what the quality is like?
