Stars are as rare in Switzerland as successful Swiss in Hollywood. Those who narrowly miss out on a medal are often met with more sympathy than the winners' cheers. The country's figureheads prefer to remain in the shadows, live in exile and are often mistaken for foreigners. Jean-Luc Godard sums up the Swiss interplay of glory and self-effacement best: "I believe that the films I haven't made are much more important than the ones I have made."
