Peter Lorre is a well-built cello

My copy of "World Noir Vol 3" arrived, a 3-disc DVD set that includes Peter Lorre's directorial debut, "The Lost One (Der Verlorene)."

"...a guy like a well-built cello, elegant in the curves, carrying away with each tone; touching, charming, human." -Christian Ferber

(Above quote from the exclusive booklet included in the box set, from an article by Stephen D. Youngkin.)

I love cellos. I used to regularly play the cello. I have a cello in the house right now. For Peter Lorre to be compared to a cello is delightful and exquisite and resonates truly. ❤️❤️🤗

Here's the full quote, which mingles in Peter's character, Rothe:

I just cut and paste this from my Facebook paste. I apologise I am so lazy and in despair with social media that I seem to just keep my adoration for Peter to myself these days. I need to finish that stupid story in the next few weeks. ANYWAY I just received the World Noir box set that includes The Lost One. As I am going away with my family tomorrow, so I probably not get an opportunity to watch the film. I have watched it before, years ago on VHS and I found it bleakly fascinating. I was just so happy to receive this, as I ordered it months ago and had my doubts that I would actually get it. Anyway the booklet is excellent, beautifully designed and there are plenty of interesting looking essays, including one by Stephen Youngkin. There is also a commentary about Peter by Pamela Hutchinson, who I am familiar with through various BFI books and the excellent Silent London blog. I have also seen her at a film festival I attend, but am too awkward to ever say hello. Hopefully I get the chance to review this in greater detail soon.

I feel rusty with digital now for only using markers for… what 2 weeks now… So I decided to experiment again instead of finish something that I already have. To be honest I wasn’t feeling any of the drawings that I started anyway. I wanted to try for a few days now to just put down a block of color and carve out/erase the drawing from it and the below reference from Der Verlorene had just the right amount of light and shadow for that.
