premise: With her lank hair, hooded eyes, and air of sleepy sensuality, Sevigny--maybe even more than Swank--embodies the mystery of sex that's at the core of Boys Don't Cry . Everything she does is deliberate, ironic, slightly unreadable--and unyielding.
hypothesis: With her sexual features Sevigny embodies the sexual mystery which is present most explicitly in the begining of Boys Don't Cry.
