Eddie Carbone is a Brooklyn longshoreman who works with his hands and lives by his own code. When he takes in two cousins straight off the boat, he offers them a roof and a shot at a better life. But when one falls for his niece, Catherine, it lights a fuse. Pride, jealousy, obsession — and the fallout is brutal.
Directed by long-time Silo collaborator Anapela Polata’ivao, this is Miller at his purest — raw, unflinching, and stripped to muscle and bone. His tragedy still lands with visceral force.
Beneath the family drama, A View from the Bridge sharpens questions of migration, identity, and belonging. In a world hostile to outsiders, it asks what a man will sacrifice for the people he loves, and what happens when he can’t let go.
