An Antonioni anthology about post-war violence in the youth of the world. Being an anthology film actually harms 'The Vanquished' in a big way; two of the three chunks (Francia & Italia) are rushed and bite off more than they can chew, they aren't able to explore sexual discovery, loss of innocence, the fleeting nature of life and post-war violence like they try to. The one that does feel as if it accomplished what it sets out to (Inghilterra) is disinteresting as anything and by the point it begins the ideas and presentation are stale.
