Mauvais Genres (2001, France)



Mauvais genres video cover
 A serial killer is finding his prey among the transsexual prostitutes of Brussels. The disillusioned detective happens to have a transsexual lover; the film is said to be sympathetic and well-informed; the transsexual is Robinson Stévenin.

The English language title is Transfixed.

Here's the blurb from the video cover:

A Brussels transsexual finds herself in a storm of controversy surrounding a rash of serial killings. The film begins as a striking performer in an underground cabaret, Bo Ancellin (Robinson Stévenin), discovers her prominent physician father has been arrested for fondling a child in his office. Years before, Bo had also been victim of his sexual abuse, but the accusations were conveniently overlooked by authorities. As a result, Bo is psychologically disturbed, and harbors an intense distrust of police. To complicate matters, many of Bo’s transsexual prostitute friends are turning up brutally murdered. As a twisty, suspenseful plot unfolds, a tenacious Police Chief (Richard Boringer) tries to determine why all of the murders inevitably lead back to Bo. Shining in this psychologically demanding role, actor Robinson Stévenin won the French equivalent of Best New Actor for this performance.
