Interesting facts

The Wedding Song is a 2008 Franco-Tunisian film. It is the second film of director-writer Karin Albou who also appeared in the film in a small role as the mother of lead character Myriam.

Production

In reference to the scene in which Myriam has her pubis completely shaved, Lizzie Brocheré was offered a body double: "I had read the part in the script, but a hair removal scene is not necessarily a close-up," Brocheré says. "We were already in Tunisia when I realized how she would look. Afterwards, I wanted to do it, because it's a symbol".
