bardem.pngIFC Blog has a visual breakdown of the references employed by critics to describe Javier Bardem’s haircut in No Country For Old Men. Prince Valiant references were most abundant; ever the lone wolf, Armond White was the only critic to namedrop Richard III. Jim Emerson seems to have dropped his Tony Danza reference too late to make it into IFC’s calculations, but I think it’s spot-on (and period accurate, if we’re buying the contention that No Country takes place in 1980). Although, for the record, I’m with Andrew Tracy of Reverse Shot––it may engender colorful pie charts, but unnecessary quirk/kitsch like that haircut makes this film weaker, not stronger.
