Ostensibly the directorial debut of Rocco's favourite wild child sidekick Kelly Stafford, though one might wonder, perhaps unfairly, just how much creative involvement she really had, Kelly's Way to Love is her counterpart to Rocco's equally kinky and hard-edged Rocco's Way to Love. Both movies explore the darker side of those wild sexual fantasies that most of us would never dream of living out. But Kelly is only too happy to provide you with her insight into a precarious existence on the sexual edge. By turns dark, passionate, and moody, it's not a pretty picture.

After Gabriel has collected Kelly at a Parisian airport, we see Rocco in attendance at some kind of group therapy session, discussing his obsession with Kelly and her dangerous fantasies, fantasies that she is only too willing to bring into graphic reality. This is the slender thread that stitches together the sex scenes that form the bulk of the movie.

Sex club - Kelly and the transsexuals
At a Parisian private club, Nacho Vidal, in super-pimp-daddy mode, turns up with Kelly (a pale and pretty, busty English blonde, in case you haven't seen her) on a leash. Inside, they encounter three transsexuals, of whom only the spectacular tall black one is really anything to write home about. Kelly joins with one of them in sucking young Titof's cock, before Nacho takes matters in hand. He dishes out some frankly brutal treatment to Kelly, slapping her hard and variously plundering her pussy and ass. Be warned, Nacho doesn't hold back as he ruthlessly fucks her, and even draws blood with his fierce slaps to her face.

It's extremely edgy stuff, perhaps even shocking, especially when you remember that this is what she wants. There's deep throat, lots more oral and anal sex, and exceptionally rough handling for the wildly eccentric Ms Stafford, before she gets to taste a couple of loads from Titof and one of the TS girls. Nacho drags her to the toilet, but some jumpy editing here is blatant evidence of some censorious cutting, so you'll have to use your imagination about what went on in there. They abruptly return to the main area where Nacho sprays her with come.

Coke party - the two Jessicas and Sabina
Back at the group therapy session, the previous scene being an illustration, I presume, of the issues Rocco is having trouble with, and the gorgeous Amazonian doctor (Krystal De Boor) is inviting one of the other patients to relate his woes.

These are illustrated in a scene set in Prague, where young fan Sabina approaches her idol (played by Jessica May) on the steps of the opera house. She is lucky enough to be allowed to accompany her to a party (with some modest girly play on the way there). At the flat of the wonderful buxom brunette Jessica Fiorentino, Jessica May indulges in some narcotics before she and her man Jiri go to the bathroom. Censorious editing again emasculates this part of the scene, though the liquid evidence is there on the floor…

On their return to the living room, Jessica May and Jiri start off the action for real. Robert Rosenberg is also on hand, and he and Jiri give Jessica Fiorentino a really stiff seeing to, including some particularly firm DP action, while Sabina gets close to her idol in a superb lesbian clinch. They look at each other longingly as Jessica slips a strap-on cock into the lovely Sabina's tight slot.

This scene is more energetic than rough, but there's plenty for the hardcore fan to drool over - three super enthusiastic girls, lots and lots of anal sex (though Sabina only does anal with the strap-on) and a couple of facial finishes to wrap it up. Chuck in some ass-to-mouth and masses of energy, and I think you have a winning scene. The only drawback is that it does go on a little too long without quite enough variety in the later stages.

Group therapy - Krystal, Amber and the patients
At the therapy session, Rocco is having trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality, as his mind slips from the real world, he appears to be seeing the doctor not in her white coat, but in the PVC jumpsuit of a dominatrix. "Are you OK, Rocco?" asks Krystal. His grip on reality slipping, he then sees the other patients and the secretary are naked…

Krystal, looking truly beautiful and physically spectacular, starts sucking the two guys (Manuel and Neeo) with frightening enthusiasm. She leads them to a swimming pool area and peels off her clinging suit. Through to another room, where Rocco watches Krystal take on these two men with gusto, sucking their cocks and just looking wonderful as she rides on top. Yes, she's a well-built girl but she's so beautiful and gloriously eager for sex.

Manuel tries to slap her hefty, hanging tits but she dissuades him in a manner of speaking, and he has more luck when it comes to fucking her up the ass. However, the highlight for me is when Rocco enters the fray himself and she whispers at him to fuck her ass. It's just the way she says it! One of those "this is it" moments, that's what it's all about.

Rocco is never one to refuse such an invitation, so he takes over fucking Krystal while the others fool around in the background with Amber (?) who is merely a minor plaything in this scene. After a good bout of healthy anal fucking, Krystal gets the loads of Manuel and Neeo on her pretty face and then jerks Rocco off into her hand, lasciviously licking up the mess.

Gangbang - Kelly, Claudia and Monik
Returning to the real world with a start, Rocco finds himself in the therapy session again, with Dr Krystal still enquiring after his problems. This time he drifts off into a recollection of a wild group scene in a hangar-like studio. There, slender gorgeous blonde Claudia Jamsson and equally slim though not quite so pretty brunette Monik are teasing the large numbers of men, who are gathered listening to music, practising their boxing and other such guy-oriented pursuits. Into this male dominated environment comes Kelly, being roughly led by Nacho, and she's in her element as she is "made" to suck cocks all around.

Thus begins a reasonably rough session, with Kelly being crudely treated by this large squad of mainly amateur guys and being roughly fucked, slapped and so forth by Nacho and his cohorts. Monik is in there too getting her holes ploughed and her face covered in come, swapping the loads with the ever nasty Kelly.

There are a couple of porn studs in there too, including Titof, and Kevin Long, who luckily has Claudia largely to himself. He shafts her ass on a staircase until she descends into the ass-fucking and come-shooting mayhem on the floor below. There, she takes three loads on her face but looks incredibly beautiful while doing so. She's amazing. Meanwhile Kelly and Monik continue to suck and fuck with the numerous horny fuckers, until the last load has been shot and Kelly has even licked the floor clean…

No wonder Rocco is still worried about her, and so he tells Krystal that he will have to return for another session. "My pleasure," she purrs.

Overall
My initial impression was generally favourable, and on greater reflection there's a lot to savour in Kelly's first effort behind the camera (though how she could direct when she's being anally hammered is a moot point). There's Kelly herself, a worryingly intense sexual performer who gives more of her true nature in front of the camera than can be healthy! Then there's the lovely Sabina and her two sensationally sexy friends by the name of Jessica. And of course wonderful Claudia and my first encounter with the knockout talents of the beautiful and buxom Krystal. Add to this some totally unhinged fucking - some of which is above and beyond reason!

That said, some of the sex is not quite as wild as one might expect - don't get me wrong, that suits me fine - and the plot, such as it is, is quite feeble. I suppose it does the job of setting up the scenes quite well. As a feature movie, even with the typical limitations of porn, I am not sure this is entirely successful. As in Rocco's Way to Love, Rocco and co don't quite make the leap to the feature style as their camera style fails to break out of the gonzo mode. Though this isn't an issue when it comes to shooting the sex, it doesn't really help the sporadically jumbled happenings.

What I am referring to is the jumpy, confused editing around (presumably) urination scenes. Though understandable given the vagaries of different countries' laws on such material, this is profoundly irritating, because such censorship presumes that we can safely watch a woman being (willingly) slapped around, but that we can't watch a basic bodily function. As an adult, I would like to be able to decide for myself what material I choose to watch.

DVD Comments
There appears to be no extra footage (I think due to the artwork being prepared before the final cut of the movie), but other than that this is the usual immaculate effort from Evil Angel. Stylish menus, quality chapter options and a range of extras including photos, cast info, text interviews and so forth all add up to a typically impressive package. The picture quality is very good, though I found some of the sound was a little rough - I suspect due to limitations in the source recording.
