Spy comedy “The Color of the Chameleon” of director Emil Hristov has been selected as Bulgaria’s nominee for the upcoming Annual Academy Awards' foreign-language category.
"The Color of the Chameleon" centers on misfit youth turned engraving plant employee Batko Stamenov (codename: Marzipan), who is recruited by the secret police to infiltrate a book reading group.
“A darkly comic and compelling tale of a rogue Communist-era agent who builds a parallel spy network after his dismissal from state service, Hristov's directorial debut reflects his long experience as a cinematographer,” The Hollywood Reporter says about the move.
The film screened in the Discovery section at last year's Toronto festival and picked up a special mention at Thessaloniki.
