The Four Temperaments

In The Four Temperaments, Cate Blanchett performs four distinct character types, each corresponding to the ancient Greek classification of personality types: Sanguine (yellow), Choleric (red), Melancholic (blue), and Phlegmatic (green). Through a four-way split screen, Blanchett addresses the viewer with the phrases “I love you” and “I don’t love you,” confronting familiar emotions that shift between intimacy and distance, gentleness and manipulation.
