Schultz is undoubtedly a master of surrealism, and his works are full of countless fantasies and imaginations. Isaac Singer commented on Schultz: it is not easy to classify him into which genre, he can Known as a Surrealist, Symbolist, Expressionist, Modernist, he was sometimes Kafka, sometimes Proust, and often succeeded in reaching depths they had not.
Writer Yu Hua gave Schultz a high evaluation: "Even with the existence of Kafka, Bruno Schultz still wrote one of the most fascinating works of this century
, Hourglass, which shows us a completely different In the fantasy land of the real world, the protagonist travels through various time and space in the name of finding his father, the bifurcation of time, the entanglement of desire and spirit, the sad song or hymn of spiritual breakthrough, the subtlety and ambiguity of the inner mechanism of the spirit, the mythical background , all of them show the audience a utopia of the world of images, in this utopia, you can let your thoughts fly as much as you like, time and space have long been dislocated, and the narrator or the participants still ignore it, lingering in various worlds. Countless images are
constantly presented in this film, whether it is the eternal theme of finding a father, or a lascivious woman, a looming creator, a strange bird, a blind train conductor who shuttles in every corner, however, the plot itself may be the Image interpretation is no longer important in Haas's "Hourglass", the image world created by the director alone can make us linger in it and unforgettable.

Excerpt from the original work: (Original from Fantou)
Ordinary events are arranged in sequence in time, as if strung on a rope section by section. Every event here has its own ins and outs, and they are clinging to each other, shoving one after the other. The importance of this fluid order to any narrative that regards continuity and order as the soul is self-evident. However, those events that have no place in time, those events that come too late when all time has been distributed, divided, assigned, those events that have been abandoned in the cold, never registered, suspended in What about aerial, homeless, erratic events?
Is it because the time is too narrow to accommodate all events? For God's sake, is there any time to bid? Captain, where are you? Don't get excited, don't panic, we can properly solve this problem in our own frame of reference.
