She passes this test but next day in his office he suddenly hits her hand harshly with a whip - signs of BDSM to come. There are only brief office scenes, however, and I finally identified her bewildered co-worker Hector as an uncredited Dane Cross, in a non-sex role for Avalon around the same time he was shooting and starring in the director's feature THE STRIPPER. At this point I realized director Avalon was going to take sexual harassment at the workplace to its outer limits.
She challenges him to give her a chance and, this being porn and "KINK" in its title, he hands her a couple of large Ben Wah balls to stick in her vagina and write up a campaign about them. He, as I guess has become de rigeur for job interviews these days, puts her on the spot and after many intrusive and politically incorrect questions gives her a flat no to working for him -apparently she's too virginal (hmm.perhaps O'Reilly is one of the few XXX actresses Evan had not yet worked with in a scene). She stars as a young woman headed for a job interview at a marketing firm headed by Evan Stone. Maddy O'Reilly is mighty impressive in a showcase role which plays almost as an audition for her more nuanced and moving performance two years later in THE SEXUAL LIBERATION OF ANNA LEE. Yet tedium is inevitable in sex scenes now pushing the 40 minute mark each.
(Ironically in those good old days all home video porn was of the mail order variety in 8mm running say 5 to 10 minutes long.) Artistically it is an achievement with stunning (yet simple) cinematography utilizing lighting that gives the impression of sunlight streaming in through windows onto writhing bodies, and intense performances of a seasoned cast not wanting to leave anything on the table. Ever since XXX left the movie theaters to enter one's home directly, this trend toward elephantiasis has accelerated so I can't blame it all on this baby. Not the longest story porn I've ever seen (CITY OF VICES takes that cake), but weighing in at 188 minutes James Avalon's SHADES OF KINK can be a wearying experience.
