Tusk (French title: Poo Lorn L'Elephant) is a 1980 French drama film directed by cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky and written by Nicholas Niciphor, about a young English girl and an Indian elephant who share a common destiny. It is based on the novel Poo Lorn L'Elephant by Reginald Campbell.
Synopsis
La fille d'un colon britannique, Elise Morrison vit auprès de son père et de Tusk, un éléphant qu'elle sauve de l'esclavage auquel il était destiné comme tous ses congénères, car dans cette Inde colonisée, le travail est dur. Elle se sent très proche de l'âme et de la culture indiennes, et va même jusqu'à provoquer la noble assistance venue fêter son retour d'Angleterre (où elle était partie étudier), en revêtant vêtements et maquillage hindous.Actors

Colonial tea planter John Wiley, visiting England at the end of World War II, wins and weds lovely English rose Ruth and takes her home to Elephant Walk, Ceylon, where the local elephants have a grudge against the plantation because it blocks their migrating path. Ruth's delight with the tropical wealth and luxury of her new home is tempered by isolation as the only white woman in the district; by her husband's occasional imperious arrogance; by a mutual physical attraction with plantation manager Dick Carver; and by the hovering, ominous menace of the hostile elephants. The elephants end up destroying the plantation in a stampede along with a fire.

The film starts with a naked figure sitting in a tree in what looks like a mental asylum. Nurses come out to him, bringing a plate of conventional food and also one of a raw fish. As they try to coax him off of his perch, it is the fish that persuades him to come down. As the nurses get him to put on some overalls, the viewer sees that he has a tattoo of phoenix on his chest.
