Anno Domini 1573 (Serbo-Croatian: Seljačka buna 1573, English: 1573 Peasants' Revolt) is a 1975 Yugoslav/Croatian feature film directed by Vatroslav Mimica.

Petar returns to his village, where Tahy is taking food from the peasants for his own supplies; even virgin girls are taken away to his castle.

Rumours are beginning to swell about the "Oathed Brotherhood," a group of peasant leaders who intend to rise up against the nobility.

A comedian troupe (including Regica) arrives in Petar's village, putting on a show to mock the local nobility and church leadership.

Gregorić takes Petar in as his squire, but is then captured by Imperial soldiers, just as an artist was sketching him.

Winter comes, and the peasants, under the leadership of Gregorić and the others, gather together with the main rebel force to overthrow the local nobility.

They release a proclamation, banning the nobility, the influence of the Roman Catholic Church, and declaring independence.

When Mikula contests he be spared on account he was one of the founding supporters of the revolt, Gubec orders the execution anyway.

Gubec goes to be in private, and finds out that the artist actually speaks Croatian, feigning his foreign background to earn respect.

The next day they confront the army at the Battle of Stubičko polje, with the peasants behind makeshift defences.

In the aftermath, Imperial and Roman Catholic authorities burn all records of the rebellion found among the peasants.

On the day of his execution, surviving members of the rebellion, including Petar, are marched through the streets, where nobles (some of whom had been spared previously) toss food and mock them.

As the film ends, the two of them sing together, walking in the midst of executed peasants hanging from torture wheels.

[2] Although it is widely believed that the film is based on Seljačka buna, a famous Romantic novel written by August Šenoa in 1887, that is not correct.

He conceptualised the film as an anti-Romantic, "materialist" and Brechtian answer to Šenoa's canonical (and somewhat nationalist) literary depiction of the historical event, grounding it in the Marxist interpretation.

[5] In 1979 Television Zagreb broadcast the television series made from the film, titled Anno domini 1573, told in different story line, with the inserted drawings in Bruegel style and narrated (by the character Petar, played by director's son Sergio Mimica-Gezzan, a young man who witnesses the uprising and does not appear in Šenoa's novel) in old Kajkavian dialect.

The four-part TV series makes even stronger accents on connection between the peasant uprising and 20th century proletarian revolution and Yugoslav socialism, seeing the 1573 uprising as the people's movement and announcement of the Renaissance and modern age in that part of Europe.
