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.
Poet Clemens falls for much younger Auguste, the teenage daughter of a banker. When she reveals her love, Auguste is cut off by her family and the couple determine to live a poetic life. Soon, Clemens tires of her immaturity and vivaciousness, but finds he cannot live without her. She inhabits the role of tragic heroine, and attempts suicide, slowly giving in to madness.
