<entity_0> is an unfinished <entity_1> Swedish-French <entity_5> directed by and starring <entity_4>. Lewis plays a washed-up German circus clown named Helmut Doork during the beginning of <entity_3> and the <entity_2>. In <entity_1>, he toured the remains of Auschwitz and Dachau concentration camps and shot some exterior views of buildings in <entity_8> for the film, all the while reworking the script. Principal photography began in <entity_7> during <entity_1>, but the shoot was beset by numerous problems. In the June 2001 Spin article "Always Leave 'Em Laughing", author Bowman Hastie writes of Life Is Beautiful and Jakob the Liar, similar themed <entity_2> films released twenty-plus years after Lewis' <entity_0>, "All three movies shamelessly use the <entity_2> — and the impending death of children — as a vehicle for the star's most base, maudlin ideas about his own beneficent selflessness and humanity. In 2017, shortly after Lewis's death, Bruce Handy's article in Vanity Fair, The French Critic Who Saw <entity_4>' Infamous <entity_2> Movie and Loved It, brought to light a previously unpublished interview with Jean-Michel Frodon. In October 2012, Australian-based film production company Traces Films recorded one of the most candid and emotional interviews with <entity_4> about <entity_0>. Apart from The Diary of Anne Frank (1959) and The Pawnbroker (1964), <entity_0> was the earliest attempt by a Hollywood director to address the subject of <entity_2>, and the first to explicitly portray the extermination camps. In June 2016, a 31-minute version from Der Clown was uploaded to YouTube and Vimeo by editor Kay Brown, and dubbed into German with <entity_6> subtitles, marking the first time a version of <entity_0> was made available to the general public.
