Cuberdon - Het Curieuze Verhaal van de Neuzenoorlog

We thoroughly enjoyed this documentary, which explores the rich folklore of our city in a way that feels both intimate and enlightening. The film's tone is initially sweet like candy.. However, as it unfolds, it reveals a deeper, more complex layer that delves into the harsher truths of the human condition. The director skillfully weaves together personal stories, historical context, and cultural insights, providing a multifaceted view of the folklore of the Neuzekesoorlog that has had a profound impact on the community.

What stood out to us was how the documentary balances the light and dark aspects of its subject matter. It doesn't shy away from exposing the struggles and challenges of the protagonists, yet it also celebrates the resilience and strength that they represent. The storytelling is both thought-provoking and poignant.

The director's ability to blend the personal with the universal is truly remarkable. We're excited to see more of his work in the future and hope this is just the beginning of a remarkable career in filmmaking.

We liked the documentary very much. We got an excellent overview of the 'nose-war' and the two sides of the story. The serious subject of the story was beautifully presented with a touch of humor here and there. There is a perfect balance between humor and drama, so we both laughed and empathized with the protagonists. This documentary is a must-watch for anyone who wants to know the details of the 'nose-war'. The narration is clear and informative, making it easy to follow along. We would love to see more work from this documentary maker. In short, we enjoyd this delightful and intriguing documentary.

As a proud Ghent citizen, I was excited to see this part of local (almost) folklore turned into a documentary.

The documentary was not too short, not too long. The story was shared with the right amount of detail, not too much, not too little. It was nice to have a mix of interviews, "going back to the crime scene", historical fragments, ... to keep it interesting and keep the story going. Also, I was surprised and amazed the documentary maker was able to get both parties of the conflict to participate without turning the whole thing into a mud fight.

I'm interested to see what more this director has up their sleeve and already look forward to their next movie or documentary!
