Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the narration and language in Anno Domini 1573 by Vatroslav Mimica. This film deals with a 16th-century peasant rebellion against feudal lords in north-western Croatia. The director/screenwriter has included modern elements and original accents into this historical film. On the basis of an analysis of two versions of the screenplay (from 1972 and the “film log” from 1974) and their comparison with the film and TV series adaptation, this paper discusses Mimica’s interpretation and narrative design of a story, which draws on historical sources and is topped with fictional elements (the life of Petrek). As Mimica’s characters speak in the Kajkavian idiom, the paper focuses on the linguistic aspect of characters’ lines and the authenticity and anachronicity of the language.
