Tusk (French title: Poo Lorn L'Elephant) is a 1980 French drama film directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky and written by Nicholas Niciphor. The screenplay concerns a young English girl and an Indian elephant who share a common destiny.^[1] It is based on the 1935 novel Poo Lorn of the Elephants by Reginald Campbell.^[2][3]

In a 2016 interview published by Sight & Sound, Jodorowsky shared his thoughts on Tusk:

"For me, Tusk is a film as valuable as El Topo, only it is for children. What we have seen so far is an incomplete cut. But the producer, a crook like all filmmakers, declared bankruptcy, got the money in his pocket and fled, leaving the installation unfinished. I am still to this day fighting for the rights and the final cut, remastering and resubmission."^[4]
