All of the perpetrators are affluent youths, each killing for his own dubious motive. In the France segment, a group of adolescents kill for money, even though they don't need it; in the London segment, a poet uncovers a woman's body and tries to profit from the discovery; and in the Italian segment, a student becomes caught up in a smuggling ring, with deadly results. Though each crime is investigated, the guilty are rarely singled out for their actions. I Vinti had a protracted production schedule, due in large part to the director's inability to find funding for such ambitious, resolutely downbeat material. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
This early Antonioni is not one of his stronges't: Composed of three segments, it's a rather schematic, message picture about lost youth.
-
Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion
Antonioni's blade-sharp compositions chronicle the war's amoral fallout in three different countries
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Daring venture in nihilism.
-
Simon Abrams, Slant Magazine
In spite of some promising and fun nourish tropes, I Vinti is for Antonioni completists only.
