Based on Slavoj Zizek’s methodology about three types of violence, namely subjective violence, symbolic violence, and systemic violence, the results of examining ‘representation of violence in elderly woman sexual violence film’ in the film An Old Lady are as follows. First, An Old Lady reveals physical violence and damage of dignity through subjective violence, and describes domination and exploitation by coercive violence, pain from violent experiences as distancing through indirect implications, the observer’s gaze. Second, An Old Lady reveals verbal violence and the mechanism of the gender hierarchy through symbolic violence, and shows violence of unconscious language habits and ideological manipulation, social prejudice of asexuality and male-centered social discrimination. Third, An Old Lady reveals reverse of harm/damage in public authority and the violence of probability in the legal system through systemic violence, and shows the invisible violence of public power and the legal system, male-centered gaze, and the misconceived guilt by power relations and exercise of power. Through subjective, symbolic and systemic violence, this paper investigated the multilayered nature of violence embodied in the film representation of sexual violence in elderly women, and examined the normality/abnormality inherent in visible, verbal, and systematic violence. The film emphasizes the heroine’s will by contrasting death in reality with life in film, and criticizes male-centered social prejudice through probability issues, damage to dignity, and lack of gender sensitivity. An Old Lady reflects on the pain of elderly female victims through objective distancing, depicts the subjectivity of woman who turn into giving up, deviance, perception, and resistance, and reveals the subjective, symbolic, and systemic violence of sexual assault, which is the 'most terrible sexual violence.
