˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ THE FILMOGRAPHY OF … ANNA NIKOLAEVNA !

Anna Nikolaevna as Sasha Pavlova in Love and Hope (2017)

Izumi Hikari, known professionally in the Western world as Anna Nikolaevna, is one of Japan’s most beloved actresses, renowned for her incredibly emotional portrayals. Although she saw widespread recognition as an actress in 2012 and 2013, with her earlier defining roles being in the Japanese film Rainbow Girl (her most popular role in the country) and in the Korean drama Sunny (which sparked comparisons between her and Bae Suzy), Anna’s popularity was mainly confined to Asia up until 2014–2015. Most notably, her role in the Australian film The Outsiders spearheaded her journey to international acclaim.

However, it was her role in 2017’s Love and Hope that turned Anna into a serious actress. The film tells the story of Sasha Pavlova, a Russian girl who moves to the United States in the early nineties. It deals with Sasha’s struggles with depersonalization and bipolar disorder, and her journey to adapt to her new home.

Love and Hope was undoubtedly Anna’s true breakthrough, cementing her as an emotionally driven actress. Sasha’s monologue in the film would end up going viral on platforms such as Twitter, and the scene not only surprised the general public, but had Anna’s fans calling for an Academy Award nomination. She would receive that and more, thankfully, with her role as Sasha garnering her a Golden Globe, a BAFTA Award, and Best Actress nominations at the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards and of course, the Academy Awards.
