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.
Flora is a restauranteur's wife, the only calm character in a tapestry of odd characters who eat in the reastaurant, and who represent a cross-section of Italian society. There is a philandering professor, a dysfunctional family, apolitical business people and a communist chef, enraged at the passivity of his country in the face of social change and corruption.
