The Clown Tape
1990, English. Directed by Rick Groel.
This is a bizarre documentary/mockumentary that I happened upon one day at my local Goodwill. It tells the story of a man who travels across country, from San Francisco to Brooklyn, dressed up as a clown. He does this in an effort to recreate a similar voyage undertaken by a man in the midst of an existential crisis some years earlier.
