Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
A love story told in three parts--linked by characters and events which alternate between contemporary London and Macedonia, in the former Yugoslavia. In the first section, a young Greek Orthodox monk hides an Albanian girl from her enemies; the second segment follows a London photo-agency employee torn between a Pulitizer Prize-winning war photographer and her husband; the last segment follows the photographer as he returns to his native Macedonian village, intent upon forgetting the horrors of war, only to discover that a fierce anti-Muslim ethnic hatred has already infected the once-peaceful Christian villagers.
