Abstract
The uniqueness of One Second (Yimiaozhong, 2020) lies in its two-fold expression: it first tells the story of a father at an exceptional point in history who breaks out of jail to look for, then view a clip of his daughter. Second, through the form of cinema, it reflects on the relationship between the movie and audience, exploring the particularities of film to convey the auteur’s sentimentality for the medium. This is a simple but innovative film with rich connotations, diverse in its intentions.
