Soon Rosina is traveling from the warm support of her community to the wet and damp confines of a gray Scottish castle on the Isle of Skye owned by the Cavendish family. As Rosina enters her room, the first orna- ment she notices is a cross, which she quickly removes from the wall: Much of the story is told by Rosina in a voice-over reading of her letters back home. In the first one, she says, "I'm not like them. I feel like the word 'Jewess' is embossed on my forehead." She receives a chilly reception by Mrs. Cavendish (Harriet Walter, Sense and Sensibility), a pretentious woman with a perfect coiffure of ringlets and \—,a porcelain smile. It is clear that she '-'and her scientist husband, played by Tom Wilkinson ( The Full Monty, Prime Suspect), have little in common. Meanwhile, in the secrecy of her room, Rosina performs the Jewish rit- ual of lighting the Sabbath candles, and she often cloaks herself in the comfort of a large tallis. Her dreams, vividly portrayed, often revert to her \__family life in London, and she finds /--- 'herself humming religious chants. It's not long before Rosina's curiosity leads her to explore Charles Cavendish's laboratory, where she discovers he is working on discovering a formula for the fixation process that will secure a photographic image to paper. As Rosina begins the process of assisting Charles with his experiments, \--,their relationship literally "develops" into a personal and professional affair. But soon, Rosina's aunt's whispered warning early in the film comes to haunt her: "You never know a man's true nature. In fact, Rosina comes to believe that she cannot understand gentiles at all as her life in the castle begins to unravel. She writes to her sister, "Gen- ciles are not monsters, I find, although they are deeply mysterious." Minnie Driver finally has a chal- lenging role that asks her to employ a full range of acting abilities in her most interesting film depiction to date, and she is surrounded by a more than capable entourage. The film comes to a fit ending with Rosina re-established in her own corn- munity again, only this time as a respected photographer who, as she says, "... captures the beauty of my father's people . and I am glad."

But she's just completed her first big film, and, like many first- time directors, Goldbacher, 37, took on a project that resonated with stories from her own life. "The background of the two central characters [Rosina and her employer] are quite similar to that of my father, a Sephardic Jew from Italy, near Venice, and to that of my mother, a Protestant from the Isle of Skye who converted when she met my father," says Gold- bacher. Goldbacher's grandfather, who died in a concentration camp dur- ing the war, was an engineer and university professor; his wife (Goldbacher's grandmother) and a daughter fled to the mountains and survived. Goldbacher's father, who was studying medicine, fled to Eng- land, where he eventually opened his own company and prospered. But he'd lost almost his entire past. "I wanted to put that in the film and explore someone losing that sense of self," says Goldbach- er. Goldbacher experienced episodes of anti-Semitism growing up in Britain. What she remem- bers most was the sense of being different. It made the loss of her father's community all the greater when she came to understand it. Goldbacher became entranced with film as a college student, and after graduation and a stint at the Sorbonne, attended Britain's national film school. She shot some commercials, two documen- taries and a couple of short films that caught the attention of pro- ducer Sarah Curtis (Mrs. Brown), who helped set the wheels for The Governess in motion. It's a big year for Goldbacher. In addition to the film, she's get- ting married in the fall and then begins work on a new project.
