The late Michael Madsen delivers one of his final performances in “Concessions,” a comedy-drama about the closing night of a movie theater, marking what director Mas Bouzidi calls a tribute to “the last of his kind” in cinema. The actor died earlier this month.

Variety has obtained an exclusive clip from the film, which premieres at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in August. The feature showcases Madsen as Rex Fuel, a former stuntman attempting to charm his way into a free ticket to see his old movie and relive his glory days at the Royal Alamo Cinema.

“Working with Michael Madsen was one of the greatest privileges of making ‘Concessions,'” said Bouzidi, who wrote and directed the film. “He was the last of his kind, owning the camera and commanding the audience with nothing but a squint and a sly grin. I still remember the joy I’d get...

It’s naturally a pleasure to see a film built around such a memorable sporting triumph in recent history, capturing the range of emotions that inevitably come with such an occasion. However from the moment we hear Sam Cooke’s melodious rendition of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot at the beginning of this title, unlike the match this is based upon, the film proceeds to head steadily downhill from there on.

Set at Greyhawks Rugby Club on this fateful day in 2003, Breakfast with Jonny Wilkinson – based on screenwriter Chris England’s original stage play – focuses on a collection of loyal members potentially losing their base to land developers.
