Boys Don't Cry (1999)
Country: US
Technical: col 118m
Director: Kimberly Peirce
Cast: Hilary Swank, Chloë Sevigny, Peter Sarsgaard
Synopsis:
A girl car thief with a sexual identity crisis dresses as a boy, moves to another town where the locals are not exactly broadminded in such matters, and proceeds to strike up a relationship with his unbalanced new friend's ex.
Review:
A powerful film about exactly liberal we all are, not least because the lead performance is so convincing. Based on a true story, it makes few concessions to sparing viewers the tedium of life in a middle-of-nowhere Nebraska town besides some time-lapse sequences and Sevigny's extraordinary physiognomy.
