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.
Drama inspired by the "Canti" texts of the 19th-century poet Giacomo Leopardi, who exposes the permanent distress of a creator confronted by the endless misfortunes of humankind. It also derives from the Greek myth of Amphytrion and Alcimedes, and the gods'--Jupiter and Mercury, in this case--desire to feel in touch with the love of mortals.
