Blimey. Too many to mention .. apparently, I have an odd (good) memory for dialogue. But Nobody's perfect.
You did good. Damn right I did.

Oh, Louis, what am I doing?

Your excellent overview of how everything evolved, was structured and planned does raise my hopes.
The election result is already a major inspiration. If a workable government comes out of these roots, it will be a beacon of hope not just for Serbia, but much more widely.
A friend in Paris had a balcony this wide. They had a table permanently filling the full width, and the diners reached their seats through separate French windows to either side. Genius.
(requires two access points, though)
It will also be one of the least experienced governing bodies in history.
All best wishes to them.
They are going to need it.
Ah .. that's not a five-fold increase, is it?
It's five times as high in winter
Sounds better than a four-fold increase, or a 400% increase
The stats on the summer/ winter direct sunlight were very impressive, a fivefold increase in winter (I prefer n-fold to percentages as it is more .. 'visceral'?)
PS: wot, no floor plans?
Conflating Jewry with Zionism, staining all Jews with the genocidal crimes of apartheid Israel, is antisemitic.
Listen to the thousands of Jews that are against Zionism.
This is more than the usual, and it's not confined to France.

If the Greens are needed, then Labour will be handicapped in its active support for genocide.
I can see how the zion-brained might see that as a problem.
Bring it on. #GTZO
Léon is an interesting suggestion, magnificent performances from both Reno and Oldman with a perfect resolution to their rivalry. Such a scene!
Just one question .. who, for you, is the 'baddy'? Reno the killer, or Oldman the nutter?

I want to say Edward Fox in The Jackal, but I've read the book too many times (where you definitely want the baddy to get something for all of the meticulous work he put in) to say that the film reflects it all.
