For everyone who likes a sci-fi/horror story with a transgendered twist (the sci-fi refeering to futuristic surgery), should like the movie 'La piel que habito'.

It's a scary movie someone suggested to me about a rich surgeon (Antonio Banderas) whose mentally unstable daughter supposedly got raped by a guy.
he kidnaps the guy and when his daughter commits suicide, he starts transforming him in a woman who looks like his deceased wife and falls in love with 'her'.

Okay, this is as good a place as any to ask. I've been wracking my brain trying to remember the name of this movie because it's a really good example, to my mind, of what makes not just a good transgender story, but a good story in general. I'm hoping someone here has seen it and can tell me the title.

It's amazing what NPR is posting on its site these days - I'll be interested to hear your comments & thoughts.
