This study aims to reveal: 1) the representation of power relations in the film The River of Love (Nahr Al-hub) by Ezzel Dine Zulficarthrough the study of Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics; 2) the representation of the tragedy of love in the film The River of Love (Nahr Al-hub) by Ezzel Dine Zulficar through the study of Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method witha Peircean semiotic approach that emphasizes the relationship between representament, object, and interpretant. Data were collected usingdocumentation techniques by watching the film and noting relevant scenes and dialogues. The data collection tool used in this study was anobservation sheet for recording data compiled based on Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic framework. The research data were analyzedthematically regarding visual and verbal signs related to the theme of power and love based on time and tool triangulation using the contentanalysis method within Peirce's semiotic framework. The results of the study show: 1) power relations in this film are represented throughmale domination over women in the form of social and moral control; 2) the tragedy of love emerges as a consequence of the clash betweenpersonal desire and an oppressive social structure. Through the process of semiosis, this film presents love as a space of resistance that endstragically, while simultaneously criticizing the oppressive social system. Thus, this research contributes to the development of film semioticsand broadens cultural perspectives in modern Arabic literary studies
