One Second Yi miao zhong
Synopsis
Set in a small Chinese village at the edge of the Gobi desert during the last years of the Cultural Revolution, an escaped prisoner risks everything to get his hands on a film reel for a glimpse of his estranged daughter. Meanwhile, an orphaned girl is equally desperate to get her hands on the reel. But first they must get past “Mr. Movie,” the local projectionist who acts as shaman of cinema, a sacred vestige of culture that connects the villagers to the world beyond. Striking cinematography and enchanting moments grace this moving and deeply personal homage to the redemptive power of film by three-time Academy Award®-nominee Zhang Yimou (Raise the Red Lantern, House of Flying Daggers, Hero).
