Coutinhos Dokumentarfilme waren über Brasilien hinaus bekannt. In seinen Filmen geht er auf Tuchfühlung und lässt die Menschen von ihrem Leben erzählen, ob in einer Favela oder einem Hochhaus in Rios Stadtviertel Copacabana. Einer seiner berühmtesten Filme erzählt die Geschichte des 1962 ermordeten Landarbeiterführers João Pedro Teixeira.

His work provided a candid insight into the lives of regular Brazilians.

He is said to have been planning to shoot a new documentary on the 2013 protests against corruption, football World Cup spending and poor public services.
