One Second (out Jan 20) is a Chinese film set in 1975 about a fugitive, an orphan, a cinema projectionist, and a valuable roll of film. The performances are overcooked (lots of exaggerated emotions) but it's an interesting story that becomes more poignant as the characters open up about their past. Grade: B.
