Fargo, opening sequence analysis

How does it fit with the genre: The genre of Fargo certainly comes across as a thriller in the opening sequence, the way in which it is so mysterious, the blue space for the first part of the opening sequence, down to white, all we know and see at this point is a faint image of a car in the background, we know nothing of what this car is about or who or what is in it. This film is a hybrid cross over with a survival. As it is set in a remote place,  the sub genre, is not clear in the opening sequence further analysis would be required.

In the opening sequence we have not been introduced into any of the characters, the narrative in the opening sequence is not clear although there is a broken down car, so this relates to the thriller genre, as we do not know how the car become broken down. The camera work is not very advanced it is quite naturalistic.
