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.
The paralleling of two train journeys taken by a famed writer in his youth and in his middle-age: In the first journey, the ambitious and wide-eyed youth, Esti Kornel, an aspiring writer, visits the Italian coast at the turn of the century, where he meets a series of women. In 1933, world-weary and wiser, he reluctantly travels to Berlin to deliver a lecture, where he astonishingly meets the same group of women.
