Bulgarian Rhapsody (Bulgarian: Българска рапсодия) is a 2014 Bulgarian-Israeli drama film directed by Ivan Nitchev. It was selected as the Bulgarian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.[1] There was some controversy in the selection due to Nitchev's involvement with the Bulgarian National Film Council.[2]

The film is part of a historic trilogy about Bulgarian Judaism, which consists of the films: After the End of the World (1999) and Journey to Jerusalem (2003).
