This study aims to analyze the representation of interpersonal communication as a conflict resolution strategy of the main character in the film Komang through Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic approach. The method used is descriptive qualitative with scene analysis techniques to identify signs in the form of icons, indices, and symbols that appear in verbal and nonverbal interactions between characters. The results show that interpersonal communication in the film Komang develops through three main phases, namely relational closeness, peak conflict, and emotional reconciliation. In the initial phase, semiotic signs build closeness and trust as the foundation of the relationship, while in the conflict phase there is a shift in the meaning of communication marked by the dominance of emotions, silence, and interpersonal distance. The conflict resolution phase shows the restoration of interpersonal communication functions through acceptance, self-reflection, and emotional awareness, which are represented symbolically. This study confirms that interpersonal communication plays a strategic role in managing conflict not only through verbal utterances but also through nonverbal signs and visual symbols that gradually shape relational meaning.
