THE Anthology is keen for Kino. The East Village mecca for cutting-edge films is saluting Kino International, one of the leading distributors of what, for want of a better description, is called art-house cinema.

The fare includes G.W. Pabst’s tragic “Pandora’s Box” (1928), with Louise Brooks; Fritz Lang’s sci-fi gem “Metropolis” (1927); Charles Chaplin’s “Modern Times” (1936); and two by Aki Kaurismaki, the Finnish master of dead-pan humor, “Match Factory Girl” (1990) and”La Vie de Boheme” (1992).

Wong Kar-wai, the cult helmer from Hong Kong, is in the spotlight through Thursday.

His hits, like “In the Mood for Love” (2000), will unspool along with his rarely shown first two features: “As Tears Go By” (1988) – a riff on Scorsese’s “Mean Streets” – and “Days of Being Wild” (1990), both with Maggie Cheung.

The Kino festival continues through Aug. 24 at Anthology Film Archives, Second Avenue and Second Street; (212) 505-5181.

* And the prize for the most overlooked movie of the 1990s goes to the Coen brothers for their 1990 gangster yarn “Miller’s Crossing.”

That’s according to the Online Film Critics Society, which has just released its list of the 100 most overlooked flicks of that decade.

Rounding out the top five are: Todd Haynes'”Safe” (1995), Atom Egoyan’s “The Sweet Hereafter” (1997), John Sayles’ “Lone Star” (1996) and Peter Jackson’s”Heavenly Creatures” (1994).

You’ll find the full list at http://www.ofcs.org.

* Last week we reported that Takashi Miike and Takashi Kitano were teaming for the first time, in an actioner called”Izo.”

Now comes word that the film will debut (out of competition) at the all-important Venice Film Festival next month.
