CINEMA Eyes have it Hong Kong movie star Tony Leung Chiu-wai’s soulful eyes will soon gaze upon Fort Greene from the BAMcinematek screen during a 12-film retrospective, beginning Dec. 1. With those orbs, Le- ung gets possibly his best performance out of his mute character in Tai- wanese master Hou Hsiao-hsien’s “A City of Sadness” (1989; plays Dec. 11). Even when playing against his nice- guy type as a slick pimp/poet in the strange and gorgeous Vietnamese drama “Cyclo” (1995, Dec. 16), they’re inky pools of guilt and self-loathing. (718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings November 26, 2005 In BAM’s “Hard Boiled & In the Mood” series, there’s arguably too much of arthouse favorite Wong Kar-wai. Five of the director’s six movies with Leung swallow almost half the series, and all have had plenty of local exposure (i.e., “In the Mood for Love,” 2000, Dec. 17). Still, they’re exquisite, so if you haven’t seen them, don’t fumble your hundredth chance. The pulp, crowd-pleasing side of Leung’s career is on display in treats like the 2000 action-comedy “Tokyo Raiders” (pictured above) which screens on Dec. 4. The plot “Hard Boiled & In the Mood: Tony Leung” runs Dec. 1-18 at BAM Rose Cinemas, 30 Lafayette Ave. at Ashland Place.
