Recommendation Request Recommendation Request: Documentaries like Cabale à Kaboul (2006) [1:26:33]?

Just found this documentary today and its really good, now i've been searching for the last few hours about a documentary of this caliber but couldn't find anything, Its about the last two Jews in Kabul, one is a black magic sorcerer and the other is a wine maker/seller (Yes, a wine maker/seller in Afghanistan). The banter, the lying, the trickery and its really funny in general. You just don't know who's telling the truth and who lies. Very interesting characters too. I swear there's a scene in the documentary that i think is a trick of the other guy like sending a random dude to pretend as your enemy's son kind of shit. Or writing a fake letter asking for his sister's bank account. Its one of the best documentaries i had ever watched.

I like these kind of Raw documentaries where you the viewer will come to your own conclusions rather than it being fed to you. Any recommendations? preferably a funny one with lies and deceit with interesting characters.

I can't think of anything similar, there's a documentary on a guy called Amir Hetsoroni who's a professor in Israel, he's a really weird character who's funny but really angry and miserable all the time
