Recalling certain films by André Téchiné and Claude Miller, this humanist feature marks a promising debut for director Greg Zglinski. Actor Aurélien Recoing, after his excellent performance in "L'emploi du temps", here demonstrates once again the scope of his talent.
AVANT-PREMIERE

A rural tragedy with a poignant inner force, ONE LONG WINTER WITHOUT FIRE is a magnificent film… Greg Zglinski directs his actors superbly and astonishes by the quality of his vision. A true director's vision, an increasingly rare virtue...
L'HEBDO

A first film by Greg Zglinski, with a first fiction screenplay by Pierre-Pascal Rossi, ONE LONG WINTER WITHOUT FIRE is flawless. Presented at Venice, the film has the precise and heartrending craftsmanship of a time mechanism in which the watchmaker has put his entire soul. Swiss film could not have dreamt of a more splendid calling card.
L'ILLUSTRE

Based on the theme of a return to life after terrible mourning, Greg Zglinski, a young Swiss director of Polish origin, has made quite a masterpiece. It is unquestionably the best Swiss feature since "Höhenfeuer", 20 years ago!
