BAM Rose Cinemas in Brooklyn is gearing up for an invasion of Hong Kong films. The fun kicks off Wednesday with a seven-day run of the audacious and touching “Fallen Angels” (1995), by Hong Kong’s leading filmmaker, Wong Kar-wai.

It’s the story of a hitman (Leon Lai) who’s being pursued by two women, his agent (Michele Reis) and an orange-haired punkette named Baby (Karen Mok).

The funniest scenes involve a mute ex-con (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who breaks into stores that have closed for the night and forces people to shop there. He claims he went mute after eating a can of pineapple with a past expiration date.

The H.K. festival continues off and on Aug. 16-26 with nine more films, including “After This Our Exile” (2006), Patrick Tam’s return to filmmaking after a 17-year break during which he taught and edited other directors’ work.

The powerful melodrama watches as a gambling-addicted lowlife teaches his young son to break into houses and steal.

BAM will screen the full-length (two hours and 40 minutes) version. At the insistence of the distributor, Tam was forced to cut 40 minutes for the release in Hong Kong.

Also on the BAM schedule are four by action master Johnnie To: “Breaking News” (2004), “Exiled” (2006) and the double feature “Election” (2005) and “Triad Election” (2006). On Aug. 31, “Exiled” will begin an open-ended run in Manhattan.

Full schedule is listed at bam.org.
