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.
As an orphaned teenager, Louba is taken in by a kindly family in the French countryside and develops an unusually passionate relationship with her stepsister Jeannie. The erotic tension between the two girls progressively channels itself into a fierce attachment to a boy, the sultry, romantic Charlie. A lurid tale of love and betrayal ensues. Years later, as young adults living in Paris, the three cross paths again.
