Feeling disenchanted with life after retirement, Mitch, a brassy former surgeon, convinces mild-mannered Colin, his ex-brother-in-law, to holiday with him in Iceland. The pair set off through Reykjavik ice bars, trendy spas, and adventurous restaurants in an attempt to reclaim their youth, but they quickly discover that you can’t escape yourself, no matter how far you travel.
Land Ho! is a bawdy road-trip comedy as well as a candid exploration of aging, loneliness, and friendship. Iceland's vast and haunting landscapes—moss-coated cliffs, fog-shrouded mountains, geothermal pools, and otherworldly Northern Lights—form a primordial Eden and the perfect backdrop for Mitch and Colin's adventures.
Cowriters/directors Martha Stephens and Aaron Katz present seniors as we rarely see them in film: multidimensional characters full of life. Paul Eenhoorn returns to NEXT with another superb performance (This Is Martin Bonner screened at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival) and displays remarkable comedic chemistry with Earl Lynn Nelson, who delivers an extraordinary breakout performance as a man refusing to go gentle into that good night.

心头菜。满口黄腔的Mitch和始终板着的Colin，从头笑到尾，结束了却有点忧伤。roadtrip那么多，为什么一定要飞越半个地球去冰岛？大概如果要选一个地方治愈，没有其他的地方比冰岛更适合逃离世俗。电影里的地方我大部分都去过，再次在银幕上重逢无比感动。下次再去，一定要在荒郊野外烤爆米花抽雪茄。
两个老年男人的冰岛治愈之旅。Colin曾是法国小号手，老得很优雅，被Mitch约去冰岛旅行，说是治疗Colin婚变失意的心。一路聊电影，逛画廊，与陌生的年轻人晚餐聊天，看灯塔，谈Facebook、性幻想对象和退休困扰，深夜持荧光棒在漆黑的旷野里游荡至迷路，抽大麻，泡露天温泉。光是看看，冰岛就很能安抚我
公路片有很多种拍法，大部分以男性为主，或轻松搞笑，或反省觉悟，其实我倒是很想看看纯女性视角与审美的公路片。
