I would say the specificity of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy made it the last one to change my writing DNA.

torture scene in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy in which character Jim is wearing 60's era headphones and watched over by a middle-aged woman in a brown skirt suit. He looks at a table full of antiseptic and gauze and a knife. The table is against a pastel pink wallpaper with a long smudge that looks like blood.

Characters Toby in a dark coat and Smiley in a light tan coat are on a tarmac wearing with a silver twin engine prop plane approaches.

Chess pieces with the torn pieces of photos of Smiley and Bill taped on them.

Jim with a troubled look is walking away from a waiter holding a gun out, ready to fire.

Black Dog is based on true events. For tonal context, here are the "strengths" and "prospects" from the @theblcklst.bsky.social evaluation.

"This is a highly intelligent and preeminently evocative work, less concerned withappeasing seekers of narrative devices and escapism and more concerned withportraying characters, evoking metaphor and uncertainty, and depicting behavior andevents in all their absurdity and realism. There are no arcs here, there is only life as itplods along or spirals away. There are enough tense and disturbing episodes here,whether of explicit or implicit/internal violence, to make this a scintillating crime drama,but the film is most interested in portraying a morally decrepit town with a fine-toothedcomb and keen insights that manifests in the most ghoulish plot progression one hasseen in a script, only achievable in one as literary as this one. There is a blackly comicabsurdity here in how matter-of-factly it depicts and moves along through scenes ofcharacters simply acting badly. It's evil Eugene O'Neill; Vince Gilligan by RaymondCarver. A scene where the complacent mayor is with associates complimenting thefigure of an FBI agent is absurd but matter-of-fact, so Coen Brothers-like but not selfconscious, thus perhaps more closely Cormac McCarthy than the Coens film. The writerknows how to move between scenes. Dialogue is subtle and believably period. TheUnionists are a perfect, dark narrative interlude, widening scope."

ProspectsThis is a poetic, literary approach to the gritty crime drama, offering the edginess lookedfor in modern crime opuses but steeped in a meditation on the American Dream, MainStreet America, and the evolution of America. The transferring of a very modern crimetale of drug smuggling and heroin addiction to the time of the 1930s, when we are soused to seeing idealized, drug-free depictions of America in that era, might seemgimmicky at first, but quickly we see the writer using the time period as a sly commenton passing economic epochs and devote much of his abilities to creating a realistic,completely matter-of-fact and deconstructive view of an American town. This dramaticloftiness and substance make this prime prestige film material, both new, edgy, andfresh, as well as classical, literary, and serious. The ensemble of well-written, ifthoroughly amoral, characters is full of material for actors to sink their teeth into. Thelocation and look of the film - an elegant modern Western - has tons of cultural hooks forAmerican viewers. The budget can all go into making this as refined (and wry) a visualpiece as possible, as it does not ask for too much outside of production design (even Alist actors seem unnecessary for such a strange, unique ensemble piece. This seems afilm for character actors).
