I love this title sequence because it really effectively evokes a 60s atmosphere and is beautifully colored and animated. Coopers graphic design skills are truly flaunted in this sequence and the results are really fun to watch.
The animated silhouette style is very reminiscent of Saul Bass' work, a nod to the 50s film noire genre and a tribute to Bass' iconic style. The limited color palette of red, black and white really gives us a sense of the crime/thriller genre without even telling us anything about the story.
As the sequence is animated we don't meet any of the characters, yet are still drawn in by the story created by the animation. In many ways the audience is more intrigued to continue watching as the opening makes you want to meet the characters and see the location of the film.
