Tusk

Tusk review contributed by Steve Puchalski at Shock Cinema

Even though my print of this ultra-obscure Jodorowsky pic was in French with NO subtitles, you really don't need a translation in order to get the gist of this self-termed "fable panique." Set in turn of the century India, Jodorowsky drops most of his crazed mystical/religious/hallucinogenic stylings in order to tell a relatively straightforward story of a little girl, Elise, and a little elephant, Tusk, both of whom are born at the same time, and how their lives interconnect over the years (yawn). It begins on a good note, with Jodorowsky intercutting an elephant and a woman, each giving birth. But the movie swiftly turns into nothing more than a Disney G-rated nature film, with most of the $5 million budget going for Elephants-Are-Us rentals. There are a few sledgehammer-subtle points about French colonialism vs. the Forces of Nature, with Anton Diffring playing the girl's tyranical father, and a nutty Indian medicine man popping up for comic relief. But for most of this debacle's interminable two hour running time all we're fed are long scenes of big animals lumbering around the countryside. When the little girl grows up, she discovers a psychic link to Tusk the Elephant when she stops it in its tracks during a rampage, but NONE of Jodorowsky's crackpot enlightenment or savage grotesqueries from his earlier epics is on display here. Instead, it takes all too many predictable routes, such as Elise getting kidnapped by the buffoonish bad guys (they're the ones who don't respect elephants), with our heroic packyderm saving her life. Perhaps the problem lies in the fact Jodorowsky was adapting a novel entitled "Poo Lorn of the Elephants", which, for all I know was some shitty children's book. Maybe Jodorowsky was so desperate to get behind a camera after all his failed attepts at DUNE, that he grabbed the first thing to come along. Or perhaps he just wanted a free trip to India.

This is a two cd rip without subtitles, but they are not heavily needed, the film speaks for itself, and remenber this is not an El Topo nor a Holy Mountain and not in any way similar to a Santa Sangre be Warned, this is a bootleg copy as you can see from the screenies the quality is not that awesome, be warned again not so good quality and no subtitles, I consider now that you are warned so dont expect any answers to complaints on these aspects.

and now for some screenies:

What more could you want? you get to have movies that are out of circulation for decades by just one simple click, if I could I would ban every person from my queue that has http://emule-project.net has nickname. I dont ask for apreciation only that you value what is given in exchange of nothing. I could be a leecher aswell, and just leech away all your releases but I choose to contribute, too bad there are few people who think like me. Like this I just dont feel enough courage to continue releasing my collection.

Enough whinning (I dont know if this is the write way to write it sorry)

Here is what you all want:

ed2k linkAlejandro.Jodorowsky's.Tusk.1.of.2(fitz).avi ed2k link stats

In a few days I'll release the second cd.

ed2k linkAlejandro Jodorowsky's Tusk 2 of 2(fitz).avi ed2k link stats

Upcoming releases:

Rainbow Thief - Jodorowsky
Apocalypse Now Workprint
Le Grand Cérimonial - Jolivet/Arrabal
Pafnuncio Santo - Corkidi
The one who came from heaven - Corkidi
Deseos - Corkidi

I disconnected my regular emule, and install a mod to speed up the releases, I'm not taking anything only giving. And another thing if you are wating for a DVD release of this one, forget it. Jodorowsky would be the first person to stop that release.

Damn! My laptop's HD is about to explode and you don't stop releasing all these wonderful things, and... :pucheritos:


...maybe if I click on it softly...


**WHAM!!**

oopsie 8O


Cheer up, F¡tz!! Yes, releasers rarely get the appreciation they deserve (does it cost that much to write a simple thank you?) but don't let the buggers win :mrgreen:

Thanks!! :plas:

As so many others, I guess I'm a leecher -I haven't made any rips & I rarely post on forums-. Nevertheless, I can say without the slightest doubt that I really apprecciate the work that's being done here and that I know the value of your releases.

I say so because I like all kinds of movies and I've seen most of the Dreyers & Fords & Hitchcocks & Godards & Bressons & all the stuff that's relatively accessible, but there are a lot of different-experimental-ZXZ films that I would have NEVER seen -and even heard of- without you or Trep or Auess or Faeton or.... you know who you are. I'm not on p2p to downolad screeners or porn, but to fins this kind of "hidden" stuff, and I imagine that there must be hundreds of people like me.

And SORRY if I've leeched without thanking -sometimes It feels strange to post just to say thank you when so much people make great contributions- but believe me, I also wish there were more people like you and I aprecciate and admire what you all do. Please, don't get discouraged....

and THANK YOU SO MUCH once again.

(where did you get all that stuff, by the way?????)

Btw, an "http://emule-project.net" client is uploading to me this movie at nearly 20kB/s... so they're not always a bad thing, I guess :wink:

This film is rejected by jodorowsky himself and even his fans consider this film "the worst of AJ".
