I saw plenty of good looking women in the film. I've viewed it three times and plan on buying it.This movie was about craft. It is superb from that standpoint. The final ballroom scene was incredible with its 19 minutes of orchestra and dancers.
Not all of us have trippy-toed through the Hermitage so whatever he chose to show us worked for me.

That anything you can show to those who have never seen it is great, but I can assure you that what you saw was not realy the stongest foot forward.I agree the ball was entertaining - pun not truly intended - and from the craft standpoint it was a good experiment, and I will even give it to you that perhaps I am reacting too personally.
But that is *my* reality. Most of the rooms and paintings I remember all too well. I have personal memories of many events and people there, as I probably started visiting it when I was 7 or 8.
But even if you separate form that, all that stuff with the European visitor was frankly kaka, as the maker definitely had a message, a not too significant of a message, to be sure, and it was handled in Sokurov's typical heavy-handed and unpleasant manner.
So he tried to give the average tourist film some human face... but with a too big a dose of his usual unpleasantness.
You might want to see his other films, most notably the Telets and Molokh.
Ugly.
