BFI Player’s March 2026 line-up
Cronenberg classics, fierce tales of resilience and standout world cinema collide in March’s arrivals on BFI Player.
Someone should coin a collective noun for David Cronenberg films – a squelch? a fluster? – to note the arrival of four classic titles from the master of body horror, who would surely approve of the steel spines shown by the women in There’s Still Tomorrow and Deaf, tales of resilience which grip. We’ve also been down to the vaults for a British thriller, airless and frantic, of a bank robbery which leaves its hostages trapped in a strongroom. Unlock them all with your BFI Player subscription.
