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.
Maria Callas, having reached the twilight of her career, comes out of reclusive retirement only to confront painful memories of her past love affair with billionaire Aristotle Onassis and the fact that she can no longer pretend to have the voice she once had. Her eager manager, determined to re-ignite her passion and restore her legacy, convinces her to take on an important project: a film of the opera "Carmen," in which she will lip-sync her own glorious recording of many years previous. The soprano at first accepts but gradually comes to the realization that technology cannot replace art.
